Designed for middle school students with an aptitude for problem-solving and creativity but limited exposure to STEAM concepts, this program offers a hands-on introduction to applied science, entrepreneurship, and fabrication. Through engaging projects and interactive activities, participants will (1) work in a science lab and conduct fun experiments, (2) explore the fundamentals of design thinking to problem solve through real-world challenges, (3) learn entrepreneurial skills by identifying problems, brainstorming solutions, and creating prototypes, (4) master basic fabrication techniques, and (5) develop teamwork, critical thinking, and presentation skills by collaborating on a final project.
Whether you’re imagining the next big invention or curious about how things are made, this program provides the tools and inspiration to turn your ideas into reality. No prior experience is required.
