How do classes support different learning styles? Our multi-sensory approach appeals to visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners. Students see concepts demonstrated, hear explanations and discussions, and most importantly, learn by doing. We also encourage collaboration and independent exploration to meet different social learning preferences.

What can parents expect from a typical class? Each class begins with a brief introduction to the day’s concept, followed by hands-on building or programming time. Students work individually or in small teams, with instructors providing guidance and encouragement. Classes end with sharing time where students demonstrate their creations and explain their thinking.

How do we incorporate the latest STEM trends? We continuously update our curriculum to include emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, 3D printing, and advanced robotics. Our instructors receive ongoing training to ensure they’re familiar with the latest tools and teaching methods in STEM education.

What safety measures do we have in place? All our building materials and technology are age-appropriate and safety-tested. Our instructors are trained in classroom management and safety protocols.
