After School STEAM Challenges
The After School STEAM Challenge programs are open to students at the specified school. The students stay at school at dismissal time in order to participate. Be sure you register for the program held at your child's elementary school.
Highland STEAM Challenges: Are you interested in being in the next generation of creators and inventors? In our engineering program, students will investigate engaging hands-on weekly challenges such as creating simple machines, building structures and much more. New topics will be explored this session!
Chapman STEAM Challenges: Chapman students will be challenged to become scientists and engineers through NASA based investigations in collaboration with NASA Astro Camp. Activities will be differentiated based upon age groups.

VEX IQ Robotics Club: An Introduction to A Competitive Robotics Team
In this immersive program, participants will engage in hands-on robotics activities while developing effective strategies to excel in future VEX IQ competitions. Students will be guided by experienced CT STEM Academy Coaches (Team 55508) who have competed in statewide competitions as participants and now coaches. This program is stragegically designed to prepare students fostering a deep understanding of the competition environment and enhancing their ability to perform during competitions. Beyond robotics, the program provides a rich introduction to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) principles. Participants will explore how these disciplines intersect in the design and operation of robots as well as the value of teamwork.
This Robotics Club will have 10 sessions. For more information prior to the start, please email info@ctstemacademy.org or call us to schedule a phone call with CT STEM Academy Staff.
