Motivated students take small after-school and weekend classes in advanced math problem solving, along with language arts, science and computer science. The focus is on deep conceptual understanding and collaborative problem-solving rather than memorization, and two-week summer camps are offered.

Kids get a personalized math plan after a diagnostic assessment, then work with instructors in small groups on the specific skills they need, from counting and fractions through algebra and SAT prep. Homework help is folded into the sessions.
Children tackle hands-on STEM projects such as building rockets, wiring circuits, programming robots and running chemistry experiments, all tied back to real math concepts. Classes are grouped from toddlers and pre-K up through middle school, and the center also runs holiday and summer camps plus math tutoring.
Campers ages 5 to 11 dig into hands-on experiments, from slime chemistry to exploring the human body, mixed with skits and team games. Each summer week has a different science theme.
Kids design objects for 3D printing, wire up circuits and sensors, program robots and run hands-on chemistry and physics experiments. The studio runs after-school classes plus flexible camps on school days off where families can register day by day.
High schoolers join free week-long summer intensives in web design, podcasting and exhibition design, working in a supportive group environment inside the museum. The program focuses on building tech skills alongside history-based projects.
Kids attend a weekly after-school math class grouped by grade and level, following a rigorous curriculum that emphasizes logical reasoning and problem solving over rote drills. Homework is assigned between sessions, and older students can join competition-math and test-prep tracks.
