Drop Off Procedure: Please park in the back of the school (A Wing) in the parking lot off of Living Arts Dr. (The A-Wing is the building furthest from Rathburn Rd.). Enter by the back door. Check-in will be right there upon entering the back doors. Look for a counselor in a red t-shirt with our logo on it. If you are arriving after 9:00 am then bring your child/children up to the classroom. If you are arriving after 9:00 am and are going upstairs to the classroom you may want to put a quarter in the parking meter (or credit card) and get a parking pass for 15 minutes so you don’t get ticketed.
Pick Up Procedure: If you are picking up at 4:00 pm then your child/children will be brought down to the same area as at drop off (on the ground floor by the back doors). If you have signed up for after care then you will go up to classroom to pick up. If you are going upstairs to the classroom you may want to put a quarter in the parking meter (or credit card) and get a parking pass for 15 minutes so you don’t get ticketed.

What is STEM? STEM is Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. STEM is everywhere today and in everything we do. It builds and teaches creativity, problem solving, life skills, ingenuity, resourcefulness, patience and curiosity. STEM is what shapes the future as our world grows and changes.
Ages 4 to 7 – For this age group, some of the projects include making a kaleidoscope, creating & launching a straw rocket, making a catapult and building a paddle boat that floats. Kids will also be introduced to coding using Blue-Bot, a bluetooth programmable floor robot.
Ages 8 to 13 – In this group, kids will be introduced to many STEM concepts thru hands on projects such as creating a wigglebot (homemade motorized robot), a solar oven that will cook s’mores, building a ferris wheel with popsicle sticks and awesome science experiments such as making hot ice and elephant toothpaste.
Creative Chefs (AM) & Crafts (PM) (Ages 4 to 7) (Ages 8 to 13)

Forensic Science (Ages 8 to 13)
Kids will become detectives and use forensic science to answer questions, gather evidence and solve crimes! They will learn how to gather and process fingerprints, footprints, tire tracks, DNA, soil samples, hair and fibers samples. They will use these new skills to solve several crimes including the case of the kidnapped cookies!
Lego Robotics (Ages 5 to 8)
We offer multiple themes so that Lego enthusiasts have new projects each week. Models include motors and sensors that can then be programmed to move and make sounds using simple drag & drop block technology.
Science Theme: Kids will engage in learning experiences that make science come to life. Some of the topics/models include a science rover, robust structures (earthquake), a frog’s metamorphosis, plants & pollinators, drop & rescue helicopter and flooding prevention (dam).
City Bots Theme: Engineers of the future will build robots that lead to the growth of our cities. Models include building a crane, a monorail, a lift, a motorcycle, a helicopter, a race car, auto show cars, trucks and even an x-wing starfighter.
Dino Park Theme: Kids will take a journey into the prehistoric world of din0saurs. Models include a stegosaurus, a triceratop, a pteranodon, a t-rex and many more.
Lego Robotics (Ages 9 to 13)
Using Lego Mindstorms EV-3, kids will build various robots using different sensors (gyro, ultrasonic, color & touch) and will learn to program these robots to move, turn & make sounds. They will learn to interprete the sensors feedback to make it perform certain tasks.
They can also take part in a space challenge which consists of 7 missions that were co-developed with space experts. Students will explore and create innovative solutions to current space exploration topics.
Coding with Scratch (Ages 9 to 13)
Campers will learn how to use the Scratch platform to code fun games such as Asteroids, Flappy Birds, Crossy Roads, Rock Blaster, Ping Pong, Treasure Island and many more. Campers can choose from our extensive library of games that will grow their coding skills starting from beginner to advanced.
