As we sit down with our families and reflect on the year, we wanted to share a big THANK YOU for making an amazing 2017 possible. In October 2011 we set out on a mission to inspire the next generation of STEM leaders. Every passing day humbles us and fires us up even more. We are so passionate about what we do and and are humbled and grateful for your continued support. It has been quite the journey from robotics classes in our living room to our creativity center in Claremont!

Thank you to all our loved ones, our STEM Center families, our fabulous instructors, our Kickstarter supporters, our summer campers, our school partners - you rock! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to work with your kids and for your patience as we grow and learn.

We wish you and your family the best this Thanksgiving!

4 days of DIY, maker, STEM fun! Students in grades 3 - 7 explored various aspects of "making" through projects including balloon-powered cars, DC motor toothbrush bots, and pipecleaner towers. They also explored various aspects of engineering through DIY stations including CAD modeling and 3D printing as well as electronics with Makey-Makey. Students learned to use hacksaws as they made giant, DIY bubble wands and how to safely use hammers, nails and sandpaper with take-home Nail String Art of their design. This was our first "Maker's Summer Camp" and we are SO excited for next year!

This summer, we offered four "Advanced STEM" summer camps. Classes included "Electronics and Coding in Arduino C", "Java Programming 101", "Rugged Robotics with VEX", and "Intro to Engineering with the Pi-Bot". It was awesome!!

Subtopics included CAD modeling, using multimeters, Arduino projects, and squishy circuits.

We have new hours! Our Wednesdays and Thursdays will now be open for "day hours" to accommodate our growing community of homeschooling families <3

STEM Center USA collaborated with the Cal Poly Pomona College of the Extended University to bring robotics, electronics, and programming education into weeklong, overnight university experience programs with 6th - 12th graders from migrant worker families. This year we reached 250 students over 4 weeks.

Students were divided into two categories - Discover Robotics and Creative Robotics (using the Hummingbird Robot Kit from Birdbrain Technologies LLC.). At the end of the week, students wrapped up their camp with their own DIYed LED circuit cards to take home!

Intro Computer Aided Design (CAD) and 3D Printing with a touch of electronics! This summer was the first year we offered a camp like this and it was a huge success! Students used TinkerCAD, SketchUp, and uMake to create their own keychains, model homes, fidget spinners, and more.

Maker's Camp 2017 <3

Summer Camp 2017 is almost over! Highlights album to come...!

Disney Pixar featured our STEM Center alum Zaina Siyed, founder of the FemSTEM Robotics Scholarship Program!! Check it out! <3

Introducing TK - 1st graders to engineering and technology through hands-on, learn-through-play activities. Camp topics included construction, basic circuitry, programming, transfer of energy, and more!

Day 1 of Early STEM camp is done and it was AWESOME! Topics included gears, transfer of energy, and construction. We also visited our 3D printing station and bonded over Disney songs 😀

Last day of Junior STEM Camp S1 is today! It's been an amazing week at Claremont McKenna!!
