After School

The After School program kids look forward to

When the school day ends, discovery keeps going. Elementary students explore robotics, engineering, energy, space, and more through project-based experiences.

Our program turns afternoons into opportunities for hands-on STEM exploration, creativity, and connection.

Through Project-Based Learning, students investigate real-world STEM concepts while developing new ideas and putting their knowledge into action. Experiences in music, art, and community service add even more ways for children to explore STEM beyond the traditional classroom.

More than STEM: Building tomorrow’s leaders

Learning goes beyond projects and experiments. Students also have opportunities to mentor younger children, build meaningful connections, and strengthen their communication and leadership skills.

Program goals include:

  • Robotics and hands-on STEM projects
  • Simple machines and engineering
  • Architecture, energy, and space exploration
  • Music and art through STEM
  • Community service and mentoring
  • Fresh, nutritious meals with vegetarian options

  • Enrichment and sports opportunities that build teamwork, confidence, and leadership
