School Year Programs
Our exciting array of school year programs are designed to extend learning beyond the school day.
We partner with schools, PTOs, recreation departments, homeschool organizations and other community-based organizations to provide fun and safe educational opportunities. Programs typically meet directly after school for one hour over 5 or 10 weeks. Classes challenge and entertain kids with educationally productive activities which combine instruction and fun.

Science ages 5-11
NEW! Swifty Science!
Attention Swifties! Turn some of your favorite Swifty songs into a science expedition! We’ll Shake it Off to study earthquakes, and make Sparks Fly while lighting up circuits. Steer clear of Bad Blood with a model of the human heart and circulatory system . Experiment with the power of the sun with Daylight, and keep your Eyes Open to examine predators and prey.
NEW! Zookeeper’s Club
Do you want to build a zoo? Design a habitat for 5 different types of animals to suit their needs. How would you build a petting zoo for farm animals? What would arctic animals need to stay comfortable and healthy? Incorporate your knowledge of each animal group to build the ultimate zoo to take home. We will study adaptations, the food chain and each animal’s natural environment to provide a wicked cool home.
Anatomy Academy
The Anatomy Academy is now in session. We’ll explore the human body’s fascinating system of cells, tissues and organs. Create a model of blood, skin and tour the digestive system. Build a working representation of the lungs and make a creepy cool model of the eye. You’ll learn you are smarter than you think when we learn all about the brain and how it works.
Science Magic
How did you do that? Explore some fascinating science “magic” while we make water disappear, grow glowing cubes and reveal beasts that expand to 800 times their size. Create shimmering crystals that grow on a piece of paper. Watch colors change before your eyes and make objects move using the power of science!
STEAM Squad
Engineer and design awesome projects while learning science and math concepts. Get messy with colors, chemicals and creations to create cool rainbow slime, density tubes and shimmering salt crystals. Dissect and construct a flower and make a cool nature box to take home.
LEGO ages 5-7
LEGO Junior Builders
This introductory K-1 LEGO set allows learning through creativity and constructionism using standard sized LEGO bricks, plates, and minifigures. Activities focus on cross-curricular learning through design, building, and classification. Earn your builder’s license to construct a bridge, build a wheelchair, and create a machine that you invent. Use language skills to set a scene and build with sounds.
LEGO Junior Builders STEM
This program continues with LEGO Learn to Learn curriculum and focuses on STEM based activities, critical thinking, and problem solving. Make your own math game, build symmetrical designs, and learn about simple machines by building a lever. Design structures, animals, and communities in collaborative and educational challenges.
LEGO Ages 7+
LEGO BricQ Motion 1
This an exploration of forces and motion through LEGO investigations. We will determine whether design solutions work as intended by testing and then engineering a change in the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull. Create an obstacle course for a dog and compete in the LEGO Olympics in a relay race, bobsled competition and hockey game.
LEGO BricQ Motion 2
Continue the brick building action as we connect to a scientific question or an engineering problem, establish a line of inquiry, and consider possible solutions. From here, create solutions for LEGO minifigures to join a dance party, walk a tightrope, become a weightlifter and race a car. Fun collaborative building with a STEAM focus!
