Weekly STEM Classes
STEM Explorers
For grades K-5. Looking for Preschool? Click here!
Experiment, build, and create as you explore STEM through hands-on projects. Activities include many areas of STEM: investigate electricity, build your own vehicle, experiment with chemical reactions, and design an earthquake-proof building. These are just some of the challenges we’ll dig into as we build creative problem solving skills through STEM. New experiments each session!
Each class level has a different focus. Continue through all three levels to build a full “toolbox” of STEM skills!
* Grades K-1: explore a wide variety of STEM skills as part of an introduction to exploratory learning
* Grades 2-3: focus on chemistry, the experiment design process, and physics (forces & motion)
* Grades 4-6: incorporate a variety of STEM skills into open ended projects, while building on those skills through the engineering design process
