About our Weekend Workshops

Our workshops were created to introduce STEM and STEAM learning to elementary and middle school children early on in their academic career in order to prepare them for the careers of the future. Students will discover the fun possibilities in the world of technology while developing their skills in a wide array of topics.

Topics include:

Coding, 2D video game development, 3D video game development, web design, electronics, 3D character design, robotics, and more.

Our Instructors guide students through a topic and explore it in more detail, allowing time for individual help as needed. At the completion of each workshop, your student will have designed, created, and/or coded their very own project ranging from a video game, electric circuit, website and more.

Benefits of learning to code:

Learning computer programming stimulates creativity, teamwork, and problem solving. “Studies show students who study computer science perform better in other subjects, excel at problem-solving, and are more likely to attend college.”

Children acquire skills that are essential to logical thinking, problem solving, and troubleshooting. Such skills lend themselves to any discipline and carry over to everyday challenges, whether that be inside or outside of the classroom.

    Allizon Torres Avatar Allizon Torres

  • The STEAM tech center provides enrichment for my kids that the don’t necessarily receive at school. They can learn to code, play chess, use the 3D printer, pixel art, and so many other things. There is time provided at the beginning for homework or reading, and then the kids can work on their various projects. They get so much out of it and look forward to going every week. I would highly recommend.

  • Amazing program, highly recommend to any parent looking for something stimulating for their kids especially in coding and programming. My boys have been going to another STEM center and I was concerned that they will get bored but I was wrong. They have fun and learn every single day. The staff is very caring and helpful. Feel like a family with them. This place is a true hidden gem. So happy with the summer camp.
