Our STEM classes offer ongoing enrollment. Students can join anytime. Students are given personalized lessons and projects, and progress at their own pace.
Private sessions (1:1) are available for all STEM subjects, and are available through out the year. Private sessions include: personalized learning plan and assessments.
Class packs are a good option if you need schedule flexibility. Only pay for the classes you use. Students can attend any STEM class on weekdays or weekends.
STEM Adventures delivers hands-on, interactive activities designed to spark wonder and bring out the curious nature of our youngest learners. Each week, students will explore different areas of the life and physical sciences, including biology, chemistry, physics and engineering. Weekly themes and questions will challenge your student to think creatively and learn to problem solve. Students will be introduced to the scientific thought process as they build and create structures, investigate and combine materials, and participate in open-ended exploration as well as teacher led experiments.
Join the 2020 Jr. FLL Robotics Challenge – BoomTown Build. Each year, FIRST LEGO League Jr. presents a new and exciting Challenge to ignite the creativity of children age 6 to 10.
Each team of up to 6 children begins the exploration of this real-world theme with an exclusive LEGO Inspire Model. Using this model as a starting point, they design a new model of their own with LEGO elements.
As they work, they learn basic engineering and programming skills with LEGO WeDo robotics kits, and apply those concepts to make their model move. Teams also document their work in an Engineering Notebook and share their journey through a team Show Me Poster.
Digital Arts & Crafts incorporates all the fun and creativity of traditional arts and crafts but also introduces cutting edge technology. Students in this class will learn the basics of photography, stop motion video, animation, and explore fine art classics. They will have so much fun playing that they may not realize how much they are learning!
This class introduces the basic concepts of 3D modeling and printing. This skill is fun for students to learn and has practical applications in many fields ranging from illustration & animation to corporate & industrial design. Students will create or modify a variety of objects and structures. They will learn how to use TinkerCAD and Blender to create their own 3D models and objects. At each class, students will take home their very own 3D printed creations.
In this class, students will get to learn how to use GarageBand and learn how to produce their own songs. They will learn the basics of using the application, how to use different instruments, and recording sounds using digital instruments on the app.
In the class, students will use their creativity to produce their own short films and videos. We will teach them the concepts of film making, story telling, video editing, and audio mixing. We will also explore the elements of production before, during and after a film is made. They will use these new concepts to transform their creative writing, set design, special effects, video, and audio editing techniques into their final projects.
This class introduces the basic concepts of 3D modeling and printing. This skill is fun for students to learn and has practical applications in many fields ranging from illustration & animation to corporate & industrial design. Students will create or modify a variety of objects and structures. They will gain an understanding of Google SketchUp and a 3D workspace. At the end of this course, students will take home their very own 3D printed creations and a valuable 21st century skill.

In this class, Students will learn about production, how to use MIDI devices, set up microphones, record different instruments. Students will learn how to mix and master their recordings and learn about how to make different styles of music using the tools in their music application (Garage Band or more advanced applications) and about what music tools the industry uses and how to accommodate different recording environments to work best for their music.
Students learn core programming concepts using Python and Java. They use it to create simple games and command-line applications. In addition, they cover the basics of object-oriented programming concepts and principles, and are able to understand its application in the development of Java software systems.
In this new course, students will learn all about the Apple iOS developer tools and be able to develop in that environment. They will learn how to build an iOS app, use APIs, and use new technologies such as SwiftUI. At the end of this class, students will have the abilities and skills to develop in the Apple development ecosystem and have a solid foundation on app development and programming. This course is intended for students who have some prior experience and knowledge of programming languages such as Python and/or Java.
STEM Pathways take your student from passionate interest to practical application.
All Mindframe classes are based on a structured curriculum we call STEM Pathways. These lessons are designed to increase STEM knowledge, improve STEM skills, and allow students to work toward a concrete goals. They’ll see the results of their efforts and gain a real sense of accomplishment. All they have to do is pick a path or two.
Choose from the following STEM Pathways:
