Overview

We ignite children's futures through engaging after-school STEM programs that build critical thinking and problem-solving skills for real-world success. Our hands-on STEM experiences inspire the next generation of scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians, making learning fun, practical, and unforgettable.

STEM is an abbreviation that stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. STEM education is designed as a transcending and interdisciplinary approach to these four classic disciplines. Instead of teaching each separately, STEM education draws on all four disciplines, creating an applied teaching method. This provides students with the opportunity to connect the classroom, community and the wider world through addressing real-world lessons, and solving them through STEM education.

Our students apply and show their learning in interdisciplinary subject areas through computational thinking (CT) and computer science (CS) based projects. Our students apply new skills in multifaceted ways with hands-on opportunities to think critically, solve problems, and develop important academic skills like written and verbal communication, planning, research. Important meta-skills developed include self-sufficiency, teamwork, goal-setting, and internet safety and literacy.
