IE STEM summer

STEM summer camp

In our three’s class program, children participate in age-appropriate activities centered on math, science, technology, and engineering each week. Our STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) summer camp program is designed for children, ages 1-8 years to have a fun, interactive, and hands-on experience as they continue to build a strong foundation in STEM Education. Children are engaged in weekly STEM themes that are mostly done outside of the classroom.  Our STEM themes encourage teamwork, social skills, problem solving skills, critical thinking, and develop creativity. An IE Summer Camp is a fantastic opportunity for young learners to engage with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects in a fun and educational environment.
