“My 10-year old son has participated in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) program for nearly 5 months – and we are both looking forward to many, many more. Every week he is so excited to attend class and see what new things he will be learning. He walks into the lab each week with a new-found level of self confidence that I have not seen before. As a mom, watching him grown and develop in this program has been an incredible experience!

The student to teacher ratio is perfect for giving him hands-on experience and allowing him to think through problems and solutions, while still giving him the input and assistance he needs from his teachers. He has had many “light bulb” experiences, which are so cool to see! He’s currently a 5th grade student and many of the concepts he’s learning in school click even more when he gets in the lab and is able to apply those concepts to real-world projects.

He already loves anything related to robotics, electronic, computer programming, 3D modeling, and digital media… the weekly hands-on experience has been a great way to further his skills while giving him a deeper understanding of how STEM all fits together! STEM is a great alternative to extracurricular sports and is something he will utilize throughout his entire education as well as in the future job market.”
