We believe that STEM experiences offer a great opportunity for a child and adult to bond as they work together to solve a challenge. When working together on a problem and project-based Learning project, the child and adult are teammates – each contributing equally to the design and creation of a unique solution.

Amazing people!
My daughter had a great time and learned a lot! She loves her robot. They even held a make-up class for the students that were unable to attend the last class!

I learned a lot :)
This was my fourth class with Dave and Paula, and as always, I learned a lot :) I felt like the project was a great challenge that prompted us to rely upon what we’d learned in previous classes while also learning to tackle new issues. I always learn new things about engineering and problem solving, and it’s a project that is fun to explain to others who may not know about robotics.

Liked what she learned
Izzy liked the stuff she learned, sometimes she would lose focus during longer projects. Varying the work helps keep her involved.

The class was an excellent intro to coding!
My 9 year old learned so much and was excited to attend every week. Dave and Paula are passionate about teaching STEM to kids and exceedingly kind in their administration of lessons.

Well done and thank you.
I believe Colton had an exceptional experience learning from Mrs. Paula and Mr.Dave’s rookie makers. This course was fun centering around many cause and effect of the Rube Goldberg Machine. His attention and interaction in the class spoke volumes to how the instructors taught.
