Class Experience
At STEAM Academy, we're on a mission to inspire the Next Gen PROs, cultivating a love for learning and creatively applying STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics) skills essential for addressing humanity's greatest challenges. Our approach is uniquely engaging. Each week, an exceptionally talented mentor will guide your child through a captivating story where the main characters invariably run into trouble and need your child's help.
Partnering with a classmate, your child will brainstorm solutions, construct amazing contraptions (with LEGO robotics kits), and create programming code (on iPad tablets), turning your child into the real hero of our story. Led by a professional and dedicated team, our curriculum has a proven track record of success, inspiring thousands of Next Gen PROs to pursue STEM degrees and careers. In fact, a team of students who went through this program recently became World Champions at the largest robotics competition on the planet!
In this playfully brilliant program, we unlock the doors to creative problem-solving, foster teamwork, develop critical thinking skills, and ignite a passion for STEAM — setting the stage for your child's bright future!
