"STEM"ulate
"STEM"ulate programs are engaging, encouraging and expand scholars minds with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. These programs provide both a fun and interactive learning experience while challenging scholars to enhance their knowledge of various STEM topics. Come let us "STEM"ulate your young scholars' minds.
LEGO Robotics represents a highly motivating, highly engaging basis for standards-based learning across the curriculum, with particular value in the four STEM subject areas. LEGO Robotics enables and facilitates progressive approaches to instruction and the kits serves as the foundation for the very popular FIRST LEGO League extra-curricular and after-school activities and competitions. The benefits to each student include: hands-on education,meets national learning standards, integrates STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), builds teamwork, and the work is fun and challenging.

What is the purpose of LEGO Robotics?
LEGO Robotics materials and practices represent a highly motivating, highly engaging basis for standards-based learning across the curriculum, with particular value in the four STEM subject areas. LEGO Robotics enables and facilitates progressive approaches to instruction, such as project-based learning and problem-based learning, hands-on learning (learning by making things), collaborative learning, authentic learning and assessment, and constructivist learning. The kits and practices are also used as the basis for the very popular FIRST LEGO League extra-curricular and after-school activities and competitions.
What are the advantages of LEGO Robotics?
- It is a hands-on education
- It is fun and challenging
- It has a curriculum that meets national learning standards
- It integrates STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics)
- It teaches all involved
- It builds teamwork and inspires young minds
- It introduces STEM career discussions
The application of robotics across our curriculum, in providing practical, hands-on activities in the subject areas of science and math and especially in cross-disciplinary activities considered STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) is where LEGO Robotics excels. It also has important, effective applications in language arts and other subjects.
Aerial Engineering - The Aerial Engineering program focuses on learning how to build, repair, and fly drones through a series of STEM stations. Each station will have a focus on problem solving through logic. Scholars will be engaged in the fundamentals of aerospace, engineering, and the science of flight.
