S.T.E.M. Explorers
Individualized S.T.E.M. social program designed for neurodivergent youth to develop or encourage interests and relationships organically.
This program is focused on "exploring" S.T.E.M.! Opportunity to try out various activities + interests to see what your child naturally gravitates to.
Robots, 3D printing, LEGO, science experiments, Minecraft…and more!
Be a part of an inclusive S.T.E.M. themed wonderland. S.T.E.M. Explorers allows each student to explore their interests or develop new interests within S.T.E.M. Individualized goals are incorporated within each of the group sessions, where students can work towards goals that are meaningful to them and family like:
-
Self-advocacy
-
Developing social connections
-
Collaborative play skills
-
Executive functioning skills/adaptations
-
Problem solving
-
Exploring S.T.E.M.
-
...and more
We provides opportunities to sample each interest within each domain of S.T.E.M. They will get the opportunity to explore basic coding and robotics skills; learn how to create using a 3D printer; problem solve and build using their creativity and imagination; and much more!
