STEAM: Robotics & Engineering

Fun and engaging project-based activities centered around science, technology, engineering, arts and math.

What will the students learn in this class?
Our STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) program is designed to inspire and educate children through exciting, hands-on projects. This course encourages critical thinking, problem-solving and creativity, providing a foundation for future success. Participants will have the opportunity to build with LEGO robotics kits, learn to code using the popular SCRATCH coding language or learn engineering principles through a variety of materials.

What are the benefits of this class?
Research shows that a strong STEAM curriculum in early life helps to prepare children for the demands of the future job market. This well-structured program nurtures kids' natural curiosity and creativity while providing them with opportunities to explore new passions. The collaborative environment also allows them to build confidence and teamwork and communication skills.
