Our STEM (Science, Technology Engineering and Math) programs offers hands-on, activity-based learning for youth ages 6 to 18, connecting them to science themes they encounter every day. Club kids can practice STEM skills in ways that mimic real scientists and engineers conducting experiments. Through collaborative and open-ended activities, participants explore scientific phenomena, develop their own experiments, and take on different roles within their teams, creating a dynamic learning experience for everyone involved. By investing in STEM programs, you help cultivate the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators, creating lasting change in the community.

The various programs we provide include: DIY Stem, 3D Printing, Glowforge Engraving, Ozobots, Robotics & Vex IQ.
