Calling all curious kids! In this exciting STEAM class for young makers and thinkers, we’ll mix up science experiments, building challenges, and tons of hands-on fun. From bubbling reactions and fizzy chemistry to bridges that hold weight and boats that really float, each week brings a new adventure in science and engineering. Students will explore materials like wood, LEGO, cardboard, and everyday items as they build, test, and tweak their creations. With fun take-home projects each week, kids will explore big ideas in science and design—while developing creativity, confidence, and problem-solving skills along the way. Note: This class contains take-home projects that contain a CR2032 Coin Cell Battery

Explore the world of movement, mechanics, and electricity in this hands-on class that combines circuits with classic engineering! Students will discover how simple machines and electrical systems power the world around us—from light switches to moving toys and vehicles. Each week, we’ll tackle fun builds using real components like batteries, LEDs, switches, gears, cams, and linkages. Projects include things like paper circuit art , fan-powered cars , and mechanical contraptions that really move. As they build, students will learn key science and engineering concepts such as voltage, current, positive and negative charge, mechanical advantage, and design iteration. By combining electrical and mechanical systems , this class helps students understand how things work—and gives them the confidence to invent their own!
