This summer, students in grades 3–6 can take part in our 6‑week rotating STEM Circuit - a unique program where each location experiences a new theme every week. Whether your child joins for one week or the entire circuit, they will explore hands‑on STEM topics through creativity, teamwork, and real‑world problem‑solving.
Each weekly program runs Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM–3:00 PM and is offered at all six locations - just on different weeks. Every week features one of six exciting STEM themes. As the weeks progress, the themes rotate to a new location so each community experiences all six programs over the course of the summer.
Kids use the world of Minecraft to learn coding basics, build challenges, and solve puzzles. This camp combines creativity with logic as campers design structures, automate systems, and bring their ideas to life in a safe, guided environment.
Campers learn how robots move, sense, and think. They work with age‑appropriate robotics kits to design, build, and program robots to complete challenges, navigate mazes, and perform tasks.
Students explore the science of flight and the technology behind drones. With guided practice and safety instruction, campers learn how drones work, experiment with flight challenges, and discover real‑world drone applications.
This kid‑friendly cybersecurity week introduces campers to coding puzzles, digital safety, logic challenges, and problem‑solving missions. They learn how to protect information and think like ethical digital detectives.
An exciting introduction to the world of quantum science - designed specifically for young learners. Campers explore patterns, probability, logic, and the surprising ways particles behave through hands‑on activities and interactive challenges.
Campers become inventors and innovators! They brainstorm ideas, create simple prototypes, learn the basics of planning and marketing, and pitch creative solutions - just like real entrepreneurs.
