S.T.E.A.M. Saturdays
Self and S.T.E.A.M. Academy Inc. offer an engaging S.T.E.A.M. Saturdays program, where children explore science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics through hands-on, interactive learning. These weekly sessions are designed to make academic concepts fun and accessible by integrating project-based learning with real-world applications.
Children work in small groups to encourage collaboration and critical thinking while building practical skills. Activities might include building simple machines, coding basics, creative art projects, science experiments, and engineering challenges—all aligned with developmental goals.
Enrichment and Field Trips
In addition to on-site programs, the academy organizes enrichment activities and educational field trips that expand children’s horizons beyond the classroom. These experiences are carefully chosen to reinforce lessons learned during S.T.E.A.M. Saturdays and to expose kids to new environments and career paths.
Field trips might include visits to science museums, art exhibits, technology centers, or nature preserves—each offering a chance to apply classroom learning in a dynamic, real-world setting. These outings help children connect theory to practice, stimulate curiosity, and build social skills.
