Makers Academy
Do you have a engineering, STEM, science, maker, builder, inventor kid? Join our Makers Academy as students get to create REAL STEM projects. We are NOT making slime or making paper robot crafts and calling it STEM! We are creating future leaders and teaching students how to apply their new found skills. Students will get to learn engineering skills that they can apply in turning their ideas into a reality. Check out the 4 different levels and find out what class is right for your child. Class sizes are limited!
