About Us

The Art of S.T.E.M. is a unique track out experience for elementary aged children that is developed and run by educators. It fosters socialization and creative thinking by providing stimulating activities that introduce rudimentary concepts of S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) through visual and performing arts activities.

Each week children perform a short skit (reader's theater style) that is practiced throughout the week. Younger groups perform a dance. The children have a wonderful time practicing, creating their character and making simple costumes. They do all of this without ever being aware that they are practicing their reading fluency and building their confidence.

Throughout the week, children are offered the opportunity for structured art projects, science experiments, building challenges and movement activities. We believe it is important to put an emphasis on free play, where a child develops social skills and is allowed to experiment with their creative side.

“Our program is run by educators, providing a variety of activities every week.”

— Kristin, Founder of The Art of S.T.E.M.

Our Rooms and Rotations

Work on creative art projects or challenges that are tied to elementary STEM skills. Create costumes and simple sets for the Friday Skit (Readers Theater) performance/video taping. Experiment with various materials for science exploration.
Engineering and Technology Room

Build forts, pet hospitals, and anything their imagination leads to, using magnet tiles, legos and various building materials. Explore coding dash and Sphero robots, simple animation, and creating stop-motion film with a variety of programs. Use Ipads to draw, learn coding and explore engineering challenges.
Drama and Movement Room

Children work together practicing a simple reader's theater/skit. The script is adjusted for all reading levels. There is also time for unstructured dramatic play and dress up, fun and non-competitive yoga, dancing, obstacle courses, singing, structured games and unstructured free play.
