Since 2013, our team has been striving to bring the best hour of the day to kids and we love helping students overcome new challenges. Over 10,000 kids have been involved in our programs in hundreds of schools over the last 7 years. We focus on STEM based classes, interactive learning, and learning through play. Our teachers have a big heart for helping kids and we feel passionate about getting kids involved in these activities that kids will enjoy for the rest of their lives!
The main "games" used to teach are Chess, LEGO, performance Magic, and Origami. Our fun and exciting coaches bring learning to life with story-based lessons and engaging games. STEM topics covered include the mathematics and patterns of Chess, engineering and architectural LEGO designs, geometry and aerodynamics in Origami and paper airplanes, and physics tools and mathematics in performance Magic. We use stories that make the subjects fun to learn and easy to remember! We hope you will join us soon for our fun and exciting enrichment activities!Reviews
