About:
Our Science and Engineering Program is designed to ignite curiosity and foster a love of learning, while also helping to build important social skills. Through an exciting lineup of hands-on activities, students in grades 3-6 explore core science and engineering concepts in ways that bring lessons to life, with each activity paired with a social skill. From regulating emotions with stomp rockets to understanding others' feelings through bridge building, each week offers fun projects that develop both practical knowledge and social awareness.
Guided by enthusiastic instructors, kids learn to work together, communicate, and think critically. Every project is as interactive as it is educational, allowing young learners to connect with each other and build confidence in a supportive environment.
