LEGO-based STEM classes where children build machines and learn engineering and coding. Classes are grouped by age: early builders 4-6, engineering and robo-brick classes 6-11, and robotics for 12-15, plus camps and birthday parties.
High schoolers with a strong interest in science spend Saturday mornings on Columbia's campus taking college-level courses in subjects across the sciences, math and engineering taught by university scientists. The program runs through the academic year.
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.
