Our Curriculum
We’re laser-focused on helping students excel in a tech-driven world. So our curriculum is founded on quality content, project-based learning, personal attention, and fun. We partner with educational professionals from each discipline to ensure lessons conform to national and state STEAM education standards.
We combine small-class sizes with high-quality instructors to provide a meaningful educational experience. Every one of our students knows they matter. Our project-based learning model promotes creative problem solving, critical thinking, peer collaboration, and in the end, a real sense of achievement.

Inspire the next generation
We divide our program into three levels (Pre-K to 2nd Grade, Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8) to build curiosity, competence, and confidence, step-by-step. Students are challenged appropriately for their age and experience.
Grades PK-2 (Jr. Explorers)
Explorers are introduced to basic engineering and computing principles and explore STEAM concepts and interfaces in a playful and constructive environment.
Grades 3-5 (Adventurers)
Adventurers exercise creativity on longer and more sophisticated projects and begin to take ownership of their work and employ critical-thinking skills to develop solutions.
Grades 6-8 (Innovators)
Innovators challenge one another, are guided to excel in technical STEAM proficiency, and work directly with industry-recognized technology.

STEAM Literacy
We focus our learning modules to help our students improve their skills in teamwork, task ownership, and complex problem solving.
Improved Problem Solving
Students learn to identify, define and develop solutions for problems as a core part of the curriculum.
Have Fun while meeting learning goals
Attention, motivation, and memory are products of enjoyment, so we include this special ingredient everywhere we can.
Develop Peer Collaboration Skills
STEAM is a team sport. Our methods promote empathy and respect for peers and accountability for assigned tasks.
