How this program works
STEM Art & Creativity runs as a rotating part of our weekly labs and special camp themes. It pairs closely with our Maker & Building Lab so kids can design something and then bring it to life in 3D.
- Weekly labs: Built into our regular STEM schedule on selected days.
- Included in memberships: Join through any 1 Day, 3 Day, or Unlimited plan.
- Also offered: During certain School’s Out and holiday STEM camps.
What kids create
- Pattern and symmetry art using tiles, blocks, and shapes
- 3D sculptures and structures decorated with color and texture
- “Blueprint” drawings that turn into real builds in the Maker Lab
- Bridge and tower designs that mix function with style
- Posters, signs, and graphics for their own “mini inventions”
- Themed projects tied to our current Engineering & Building focus
Every project has a clear challenge: balance, height, strength, pattern, or another engineering rule that guides their creativity.
Skills they develop
- Creativity and confidence in trying new ideas
- Design thinking — plan, build, and improve
- Understanding of patterns, symmetry, and simple geometry
- Fine-motor skills and attention to detail
- Communication — explaining their design choices
