Our Programs

We offer various programs for STEM, choosing aspects from Engineering, Computer Science, and Robotics. Our programs are very flexible, and are often adapted based on the organizations we work with.

Introduction to Robotics

We introduce elementary schoolers to robotics through WeDo 2.0 Robotics Kits, combining coding and engineering. We run competitions filled with challenges to motivate students.

Intermediate Robotics

We continue to expose middle schoolers to robotics through LEGO Mindstorms kits, focusing on using various sensors to complete challenges. We try to encourage students to pursue robots

Foundations of Engineering

We introduce elementary students to various types of engineering through projects utilizing common materials. We also introduce students to the fundamentals of CAD and circuitry.

Intermediate Engineering

We continue to expose middle schoolers to engineering projects such as a hydraulic lift and a flocculation machine. We also continue to build on their CAD skills and delve into more circuity.

Introduction to Coding

We introduce elementary students to coding through CS Unplugged activities, emphasizing the use of no computers. We also use activities from Code.org and Scratch for block coding.

Introduction to Python

We expose students to the Python programming language, helping them build fun projects while teaching them about concepts found throughout Computer Science.
