STEAM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. These subjects are the ones on which the workforce of the future will rely heavily. The STEAM program is organized around 6-week semesters, with sessions twice a week. The sessions are divided into half theory and half practice. The kids will be divided into small groups, making it easier for them to focus and to communicate with instructors and each other.
We believes that being active, both physically and mentally, is the main ingredient to a healthy and happy life. For this reason, they have designed a STEAM program that stimulates minds and muscles at the same time. The program incorporates multiple attractions and allows kids to experiment with what they have learned through fun and play. This brings entertainment into the equation of STEAM education. The STEAM program is a fantastic setting in which your children can develop and thrive.
Have you ever wondered why it seems more difficult to walk with a backpack over your head vs on your back? Why is it hard to tip over some cups while others seem to spill all the time? How does a tightrope walker keep their balance? Let’s explore the Center of Mass and Center of Gravity.
Today we will test our understanding of energy in motion as we explore Circus Science, the pendulum and Trapeze Energy.
We all know that what goes up must come down. Some athletes, like Michael Jordan, defy gravity with exceptional hang time. How?
Explore the forces that keep gliders, planes and even frisbees in flight. Let’s apply what we have learned to launch a hoop glider.
Let’s encode, decode, transmit, receive and store messages in our rescue mission scenario, using a code sheet and flashlight to Code the Search!
Climbing is a tug of war between the forces of gravity and friction. You have probably noticed that a climber can muscle up the wall but they will quickly get tired. Let’s talk about how we can use the forces of friction, gravity and friction gear.
Let’s explore chemical interactions and the results they produce using readily available ingredients in your kitchen. Weird But True!
Let’s explore rockets and the forces that propel them into space with 2 rocket model activities. We will also take a peek at exciting rocket projects.
Let’s explore the energy and engineering of the roller coaster and apply what we learn to test a coaster of our design.
Earthquake! Explore how seismic activity and earthquakes impact building design. Build a Tsunami model to demonstrate the origin and power of these huge waves.
In this engineering design challenge let’s explore simple machines, compound machines, energy transfers and Rube Goldberg Machines.
Let’s explore the STEAM and physics of Parkour movement. Parkour leaps, jumps, rolls and runs follow the rules of physics and Isaac Newton’s Laws of Motion.
We all love a secret code. In this act we will try to be a STEM Sleuth and take it to the next level solving a mystery using STEM.
How does your hand move and do work? It is an amazing machine! In this act we will learn and make a model of our robotic hand.
In this act we will explore the energy and engineering of the roller coaster and apply what we learn to test a coaster of our design.
