We have dozens of STEM classes for K-12 students
Our Classes
Physics
We offer a broad variety of physics related classes covering topics ranging from Newton's Laws of Motion to Fluids & Hydraulics, Light & Optics, Sound, Properties of Air, Matter & Thermodynamics, and Classical Mechanics.
Electronics
Students learn about basic electronics components and circuit theory and start out with simple projects to light and flash LED's to ultimately building their own autonomous robots from scratch (we don't do kits).
Electricity
These classes teach children the theory of electricity but more importantly we get to make a lot of different kinds of small lightning bolts and use electrostatics to magically levitate and move objects.
Magnetism
In our magnetism classes students get to learn how magnetism works, make electromagnets & compasses, magnetically levitate objects, and make magnetically powered motors.
Microbiology
In our microbiology classes we get SMALL... We take samples of cells and bacteria in our immediate environment and investigate the results as well as look at microscopic slides of a variety of specimens. We also break down the DNA of several substances which is an excellent introduction to anyone who is a fan of CSI science.
Mathematics
These aren't your typical after school math classes, we teach children dozens of math tricks to show them the fun side of math. They learn how to trick people into thinking they're psychic by using basic algebra, how to do speed math and math the easy way, and we also throw in some awesome card tricks they are sworn to secrecy to never reveal how the trick is done.
Chemistry
Our chemistry classes teach children about atoms, , chemicals, acids, bases, and molecules, and we have fun rearranging those molecules in a variety of extreme ways (fully controlled and supervised, of course ;-)
Engineering
Being engineers ourselves this is a topic very near and dear to our hearts. Our engineering classes and activities show kids the fun side of engineering and challenge them to creatively solve a variety of problems like designing a load bearing column effectively and economically and safely delivering a payload without breaking.
Team Building
All of our programs and activities emphasize team building, teamwork, and group collaboration. We do many team building exercises to bring even the most shy child out of his or her "shell".
