Our students learn that science cannot operate in a bubble and it takes all kinds of people working together to solve the world’s problems. Our community works together, takes care of each other, and helps each other learn and grow regardless of age and gender. We understand that the best scientists are well rounded individuals so as much as we love building robots and shooting off rockets, we understand the importance of engaging in a wide range of fun activities.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMondays - ROBOTICS: step into the exciting world of robotics! In this class students learn to build and program their own robots using LEGO robotic kits and kid-friendly coding platforms. From buzzing bots to obstacle course racers, students will tackle fun challenges that bring science, technology, and creativity to life.  They will develop critical skills in problem-solving, engineering, teamwork, and coding - all while having a blast designing robots that move, sense, and react! Perfect for curious minds who love to tinker, build, and explore how things work.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuesdays - UKULELE LAB: MUSIC MEETS STEM - Discover the science behind music while learning to play the ukulele! In this hands-on class, students will build a strong foundation in chords, rhythm, strumming patterns, and simple songs while exploring how sound is created through vibrations, frequency, pitch, and resonance. Through fun experiments and interactive activities, young musicians will see how science and engineering shape the instruments we play and the music we create.
