Ignite Your Child's Passion for STEM

This program is specially crafted for young learners, introducing them to the exciting world of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math), programming, and computer science through fun and engaging activities. Our mission is to inspire a love for robotics and STEAM, equipping your child with essential future skills while ensuring they have a blast along the way!

Using a mix of cutting-edge tools and technology, our program introduces the fundamentals of digital literacy and computing. Students will also participate in a wide range of unplugged activities, hands-on STEAM experiments, interactive projects, and demonstrations that make learning come alive. Each term offers new and exciting projects, providing returning students with fresh challenges and opportunities to grow.

Every Semester the children are exposed to new projects and technology allowing continuing students to grow their skills.

 

 

 

Example Projects

  • The Physics of Fun
    Learn about the conservation of energy as we 3D design marble runs, and experiment with what it takes to loop the loop of a roller coaster. Experiment with projectile motion through the physics of the world of Angry Birds as you engineer catapults and experiment with launch velocity and angle to accurately knock over the programmed, sensor-enhanced "Bad Pigs".
      

  • Screen-free coding using ScottieGo and MakeBlock mTiny 
    These tools incorporate off-screen programming using physical tiles to introduce coding concepts. These methods are especially great for kids using programming technology for the first time as typing and operating system interface skills are not required to start learning programming concepts.  

      
     
  • Introduce early concepts of science and computational thinking using space flow and block-based coding with SamLabs.
    Students build code, connect sensor and actuator components and create and innovate systems that provide solutions within a real-world context. Like Scottie Go, a key feature of Sam Labs is to enable kids to learn technical problem-solving concepts without having typing or programming syntax skills

     

  • Introduce Robotics and Block-Based Programming with Codey Rocky
    Codey Rocky allows children to create dot matrix animations, design games, and realize AI and IoT applications. By programming every move made by the robot, not only will children understand each command intuitively, but they will also find it a rewarding experience through hardware creation.

     

  • Tinkering electronic systems with microbit and HaloCode
    Students are introduced to physical computing as they apply foundational programming skills to implement simple electronics into hands-on tinkering projects. They expand their programming skills beyond tiles or flow coding into the Codeblock programming environment (based on Scratch). Kids enjoy using electronic components in a variety of creative STEAM projects, such as: designing a robot pet or learning about animation through building a motorized Zoetrope, or learning about the science of additive color mixing and applying it to a visual art installation.

Note: The STEAM Adventurers course was previously known as Jr STEAM Lab. TechLabs is standardizing course names across all locations to ensure consistency.

Current Course Project

 

Our Jr STEAM Medley is an open format for students to develop their innovative spirit!

Experience innovation, creativity, science, and technology through projects designed to inspire kids to become future engineers, programmers, and scientists. This course combines age-appropriate programming and digital skills with unplugged construction projects.

 

Example Projects:

+ Intro to coding using children-friendly interfaces

+ Build and program robots

+ Explore electronics through building and experimentation

+ Learn Digital Technologies such as Animation, 3D design and 3D printing, and more!

.

Join Junior STEAM and experience a variety of STEAM technologies in a fun-filled setting! Projects change each semester so returning students are always inspired and challenged.
