What people are saying!

“The best STEM programs for kids, hands down! I have taken my two young Girl Scouts to a few of the sessions, and they LOVE it! The kids are engaged, having fun, being creative, all while learning and gaining important lifelong skills. It’s so easy to register and sessions are always located at easy centralized locations. We are definitely going to keep coming!”

Rae Ann (parent)

“The classes are so fun and I earned my Girl Scout badges too! Can we go back?”

Aubrey age 8
