BrainSTEM Learning wants kids to have fun and enjoy learning using Science, Technology, Engineering and Math in fun, creative ways.

They offer two different classes for age-appropriate learning.

Little Brains – Aerospace Engineering
Kindergarten-Grade 1
In Little Brains kids learn about the fundamentals of aerospace engineering discovering aerodynamics, gravity, velocity, forces to lift, drag and thrust on objects, and the Bernoulli principle. The kids will use their creativity and curiosity to design and build their own flying machines while having fun. (12 students max.)

Location: The Music Room at Ross Road School

Specialists – Robotics Engineering
Grades 2-6
A robotics engineer is responsible for designing, creating software, and programming robots and robotic systems to be able to perform duties that humans are either unable or prefer not to complete. Robots help make jobs safer, easier, and more efficient, particularly in the manufacturing industry. In Specialists, kids learn about the basics of robotic engineering, building a robot, design possibilities, material requirements, and programming. They use the LEGO® Mindstorms EV3 TRACKER robot kit and its software. They will face different challenges, and have fun using STEM education models. (12 students max.)
