• Children will have opportunities to work together in small and larger groups. For certain activities like LEGO builds, children will be grouped by grade/ability/interest level.
   

• All professional Summer STEAM leaders are experienced in childcare and child education, and all have gone through DOJ and FBI background checks.
   

• Our diverse group of leaders have a wide variety of professional specializations that they are excited to share. They include multiple fields of science including biology, chemistry, physics, nutrition, environmental studies, and computer sciences. Multiple visual and performing arts areas are also represented within our staff like drama, cartooning, anime, ceramics, drafting, graphic design, painting, dance, music, and much more! All leaders have many applied skills like woodworking, craftsmanship, metalworking, cooking, and engineering, just to mention a few.
