Kids build and program robots, design Minecraft worlds, make stop-motion animations and experiment with circuits in small, inclusive classes. Little Engineers sessions introduce preschoolers to building, while older kids move into coding and game design.
Students get one-on-one or small-group tutoring from certified tutors after an academic evaluation, with plans covering math, reading, writing, science and study skills. Older kids can prepare for SAT, ACT and other standardized tests.
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.
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.
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.
An interactive fire-safety center run by the FDNY Foundation where kids climb aboard a real-looking fire truck, try on firefighter gear and meet a firefighter. A presentation with a simulated smoke-filled hallway teaches what to do in a fire.
