The key to our success is that we do not approach chess club in a dry, boring way. We use stories, rhymes, and dances to bring the pieces to life and get kids excited about playing the Game of Kings. We are proud to say we get students excited about a game that enhances and encourages logical thinking, problem solving, and foresight. We try to make chess as fun as possible, and give the kids the tools they will need to study chess on their own. We emphasize the fun over the competitive elements and try to get our students excited about chess and its strategies, so that they can put the time on their own into mastering chess.

Junior Robo-Coding: Animal Kingdom & Junior Chemical Engineering: Crazy Concoctions Join us for 10 weeks of hands-on fun with Chemical Engineering Crazy Concoctions and Robo-Coding—a perfect STEM adventure for curious young minds! Messy, Magical, and Memorable, Chemical Engineering introduces our Junior engineers to fundamental concepts of matter. They’ll mix, squish, and stir as they create their own wild concoctions while learning about the properties of different “chemicals.” In the second half, we dive into RoboCoding, where students work in pairs to build and program animal-inspired robots using LEGO® bricks and tablets/laptops. From hopping frogs to roaring lions, they’ll bring their creations to life through simple coding and robotics! Aligned with national STEM standards, this class builds confidence, creativity, and critical thinking—all while having tons of fun!

Minecraft EDU: Traveling to the Future! & Apprentice Aerospace Engineering Join us for 10 weeks as we explore Minecraft EDU and Aerospace Engineering! For the first half of the session, students explore an apocalyptic future in Minecraft EDU, one where the earth has been ravaged by a series of natural disasters. Each day, students rely on the engineering design process to solve a series of virtual engineering challenges such as building a city on a series of islands, escaping from a bunker on Mt. Everest, and even building a rocket to land on the moon! Through application of engineering principles, students solve numerous challenges as they make their virtual world of Minecraft a safe place for humanity once again. For the second half, we put the virtual world away and students explore Aerospace Engineering with hands on building! They use the Engineering Design Process to design, create, test, and refine a variety of flying machines. They construct a shock absorbing system designed to protect astronauts in a lunar vehicle, create their own air-powered rockets, and more! Based on National Standards, we offer exciting and challenging hands-on experiences every week!
