Creating Tomorrow's Engineers Today!
We are the leader in STEM programs in the state. We operate out of the only K-12 Fab Lab in the U.S.. We have over twenty nine years of experience teaching children engineering and we offer both innovative summer and school year programs. This class is a hybrid program that meets for 45 hours over the course of four months. Students will convene twice a week online through live, interactive lessons led by experienced instructors. Unlike any other online courses, Young Engineers of Today is anything but traditional. We use a combination of top webinar technology as well as lessons especially designed to engage students to work both independently as well as cooperatively as part of a group. All of our webinars are recorded, so students can review them anytime. Should students choose to work additionally outside of class, they have access to their instructor via email or phone for any questions.
Young Engineers is designed and run by recognized STEM educators with over twenty nine years of experience teaching engineering and programming. Our innovative camps and classes are the result of our love of learning and our passion for improving how we teach for the future. We want our kids to become technology creators, not just consumers. We use the latest advanced equipment, electronics and software and use them to create an immersive educational experience — no straws or toothpicks here! We use everything from 3D Printers and EV3 LEGO Robotics to Raspberry Pi Microcomputers and cyborg cockroaches. Our hands on camps are more than theoretical or computer based – your child will be experimenting, tinkering and creating with their hands and by the end of the week will have something they made to bring home.
