Class Experience
Urban STEAM Lab will be offering afterschool pick-up and care for K through 5th grade in the 2024/2025 school year. Students will be picked up promptly at 2:30p from their schools and will head directly to Urban STEAM Lab for hands-on learning, inquiry, connections, and fun. The STEAM theme changes weekly and will include topics such as oceanic science, Newton’s Laws of motion, maker challenges, light and sound, map skills, and so much more.
After-school will be offered in two parts: STEAM projects be from 3:00-4:30. A pick up option (with a discounted tuition) will be available for 4:30. For families needing additional care, homework time and free play will be from 4:30-6:00.
Urban STEAM Lab will offer pick up options for PS102 and PS185. PS185 students attend the 5th Avenue location. PS102 students attend the Owl's Head location. Double check that you're registering for the right location.
We are only registering up to 4 K-1st graders per location.
Sample Class Format
- 2:40-3p: Enjoy our walk to Urban STEAM Lab and maybe collect some specimens for later viewing! Backpacks will be pulled by staff in a wagon.
- 3-3:15p: Brain food and water break. Snacks are provided. No peanuts allowed, if you choose to pack snack for your scientist.
- 3:15-4:30p: Project-based learning! We will be creating, thinking, tinkering, and investigating the theme of the week. First pick up option: 4:30.
- 4:30-6:00p: Homework time! This time will be dedicated to starting and working towards completing any homework. Instructors will be available for questions and guidance. Once homework is completed, students can get in some freetime. Second pick up option: 6:00.
Other Things To Know
If you need to withdraw from the program for any reason, 30 days written (email) notice is required. You will be financially responsible for the duration of that 30 days whether your child attends or not.

I wish I had thought to pack tote bags to carry their crafts home but it wasn't a big deal. I can't think of anything else!
