Welcome to Our Introductory Program in STEM and Digital Skills

Dive into a world where curiosity meets creativity! Our program is thoughtfully designed for young explorers, with special consideration for pre-readers. We offer an enchanting blend of STEM activities that spark imagination and discovery for every level of early learning. Whether experimenting with science and engineering, tinkering with electronics, or engaging in hands-on robotics and simple coding projects, this course invites emerging readers and curious minds alike to embark on an exciting adventure. Watch as they explore, create, and unleash the power of their ideas in a captivating journey through the wonders of STEM and Digital Technology—where every young learner’s potential shines!

Weekly activities vary to cover all of the STEM topics in a single semester. Each semester the students are introduced to new activities and tools to deepen their understanding.

  •  Science
     
    Children explore real-world phenomena through hands-on experiments and observation:
    • Discover the basics of magnetism and static electricity
    • Learn how electricity flows and test conductive vs. insulating materials
    • Experiment with mixing colors of light using LEDs and filters

  • Technology
      
    Technology is introduced through interactive, play-based tools and devices:
    • Learn basic programming using visual block coding with icons (no reading required)

    • Engage with tangible coding robots like Lego WeDo, Vinu, and VEX 123

    • Get creative with STEM through introductory 3D design or learn stop motion animation

    • Practice using touchscreen devices to navigate apps and games


  • Engineering
      
    Young learners build and test real-world structures while learning design thinking:
    • Explore the functions of simple machines (e.g., levers, pulleys, wheels)

    • Build creative projects with Lego WeDo and tinkering kits

    • Develop fine motor skills and problem-solving through hands-on construction


  • Mathematics
    ScratchJr - Learn  
    Math is taught through engaging, visual, and hands-on activities:
    • Build spatial awareness and geometry skills through 3D design and Lego play

    • Develop understanding of sequences, patterns, and relationships

    • Strengthen logical reasoning, number sense, and problem-solving through interactive games and coding tasks

Theme Fall 2025: 

Exploring the World of Engineering: Embark on an exciting journey where young innovators transform into budding engineers! In each session, kids discover a new engineering field—building robots, coding, running experiments and tackling fun design challenges. They’ll learn how engineering shapes our world through creative, STEM-powered experiences.
