STEM Afterschool Academy provides STEM education for students in grades K-8. We offer a variety of programs, including robotics, coding, engineering, and science. We also offer summer camps and workshops.

Summary of Activities to be Offered for the Academic Year:

1. Robotics Engineer: (Fall/Winter sessions) – For 2nd to 5th graders

In this engaging course, students will delve into the world of robotics,. throughout the program, they will learn about electrical circuit theory and various electrical components such as servo motors, photo-resistors, infrared sensors, and transmitters. The projects will introduce them to graphical programming using both Blocky and MakeCode and line coding using Python. By the end of the course, students will have developed robots that can sense their environment and navigate using tactile, light-sensitive phototransistors, and infrared sensing. Contact us for full schedule.

2. Electrical Components: (Fall/Winter sessions) – For Kindergarten to 1st graders

Young learners in this program will be introduced to essential electrical components like resistors, capacitors, diodes, and more. Through hands-on activities, they will gain practical knowledge of how these components function within various systems. The course will be brought to life through exciting projects, including building FM radios, creating lie detectors, designing automated streetlamps, and having fun with flying saucers. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to construct circuits using a remote-controlled Rover, adding an element of excitement to their learning journey.
