31 STEM programs for kids in Queens, 3 free. Coding, science, chess, cooking. Includes NYC FIRST STEM Center @ QPL Far Rockaway and NYC FIRST STEM Center @ QPL Jamaica Central.
Located in the Far Rockaway library, this free STEM center lets kids 12 and up build robots, learn design software and try fabrication tools during after-school drop-in hours.
Inside Queens Public Library's central branch, middle and high schoolers take robotics and technical workshops and use design and fabrication equipment with guidance from STEM staff. Access is free with an NYC FIRST membership.
Children work through short daily worksheets in math and reading at their own level, visiting the center twice a week to complete assignments and get checked by instructors. The self-paced method aims to build strong calculation skills and independent study habits, and preschoolers can start with early number and letter work.
Kids work at their own pace through a game-based coding curriculum, earning colored belts as they build increasingly complex games. The center also offers robotics sessions and seasonal STEM camps, including AI-themed programs.
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 advance through a belt-based after-school curriculum in coding, robotics, digital design and AI, using gaming PCs, 3D printers, robots and drones. The center also runs holiday STEM camps, hackathons and an AI Studio where students build their own projects.
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.
Students work through a personalized plan built from an initial skills assessment, getting small-group help from instructors on everything from number sense to algebra and test prep. Kids can also bring school homework to get support during sessions.

Kids learn programming through personalized coaching in pairs, choosing projects in Scratch, Python, Java, Roblox or robotics as they progress. The center also runs larger entry-level classes and full-day summer camps on AI, animation and game development.
Kids build LEGO-based models to learn engineering principles, basic programming and robotics in a hands-on STEAM setting. The Jamaica franchise runs after-school programs, camps, field trips, workshops and birthday parties.
Students get group or private tutoring in math and reading plus test prep for state exams, G&T, SHSAT and SAT. In summer, STEAM camps mix science experiments, arts and crafts and reading for younger kids with math and writing workshops for older ones.
