The Main Idea of our STEAM Journey Program

Fall in love with STEM

Our program’s main idea is to make kids enjoy every single class. At this age, children are discovering their interests, so it's crucial to inspire their enthusiasm and show them that STEM is the way to go

Lots of hands-on

Children at this age learn best through hands-on experiences, where they can see, touch, and interact directly with real-world objects. That's why each class is designed to be a hands-on experience, allowing kids to actively build and create with their own hands

Well-balanced program

Every year of our STEM program is a combination of four pillars: robotics, programming, game development, and creativity. This combination allows kids to feel all the versatility of STEM field and maybe decide on their future occupation

Small groups

Our groups are maximum 8 students that allows our instructors to focus on every child in the class and assure they are all on track and progress with the class

Program Curriculum

To enroll in our STEM program your child should be at least in first grade. If you're not yet in first grade, the earliest program available for enrollment is our Summer Camp for grades 1-2, open in the summer for incoming first graders. Our program spans three years. Please review the curriculum below to determine the appropriate class for enrollment.

Curriculum based on an adaptive approach and gamification

Our education process is based on principles that student should become independent in making decisions still be able to work in a team to finish the class assignments. These are very practical skills useful in future

Online student MyStat account

Kids and parents can access their online MyStat account to see grades, class materials, class schedule, teacher feedbacks, etc.

Internal currency StepCoin

Every student is awarded virtual money for their educational and behavior success in the class. Kids can purchase various prizes like headphones, t-shirts, Xbox controllers etc. in the internal store accessible through MyStat account.

Today it is impossible to imagine a child without a gadget

But after all, a computer and a smartphone are much more than social networks and games. It is an opportunity for interesting and engaging learning of in-demand practical skills.

Even at 7-9 years old, your child can learn the basics of programming, design, and making photos and videos. This can become a real hobby and help them figure out what they enjoy doing.
