Snapology: STEAM

In Snapology’s STEAM Lab, students will actively experiment with the principles of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. All programs and activities are hands-on with guided instruction from an experienced Snapologist using LEGO® bricks and unique supplies including motors and LEGO® robotic sets. Our programs utilize teamwork, communication, and creative problem-solving as an essential part of creating a fun and productive atmosphere where students can learn, challenge themselves, and practice their social skills. Your learner will work with a partner to create a variety of structures, robots, machines and more to solve challenges presented to them in this exciting enrichment lab! Each week students will engage in 2-3 activities chosen from our many Snapology programs, and students can provide input to the areas that interest them most. Each session will contain different activities and lessons, so a student is welcome to enroll in both sessions.
