Students enrolled in middle school programs receive an introduction to STEM related careers through hands-on, inquiry-based learning.
Students create solutions to authentic, real world problems through mobile app development and biomedical science.
While working in teams, students apply the design process to solve problems and understand the influence of creativity and innovation in their lives.
Students study DNA evidence to solve medical mysteries through hands-on projects and labs and learn how the systems of the human body work together to maintain health.
While working in teams, students use the VEX Robotics® platform to design, build, and program real-world objects and learn about mechanical systems, energy transfer, machine automation, and computer control systems.
