Our Teaching Methodology for STEM Education
Even if your child isn’t destined to become an engineer or mathematician, STEAM/STEM education is increasingly valued by educators for its ability to foster creative approaches to problem-solving and skill-building. Best of all, these enrichment classes emphasize fun, so kids needn’t worry that a class in, say, robotics or coding is just “more school.”
STEAM Programs We Offer
STEM/STEAM CLASSES
It is clear that young people with competency in the STEAM disciplines are more likely to prosper both in their lives and in their careers. Today’s young people are already finding that more and more jobs require proficiency in STEAM disciplines. Our schools need to make sure they’re prepared. Our STEAM/STEM classes prepare our kids and adults all while at their own pace.
STEM/STEAM CAMPS
We empower kids to become engineers, programmers, inventors, entrepreneurs, to be anything they want to be, the opportunities are endless! Learning doesn’t have to stop, once it’s the summertime, SmartyPants NextGen in Bloomfield is excited to offer our services all year round! This is a great way to inspire the kids of the future, all while having fun!
STEM/STEAM Education Programs
STEAM FOR KIDS
For young children, learning activities help them develop early literacy skills, executive function abilities and early math knowledge. We offer hands-on learning in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM). Geared for students ages 9-17, beginner to advanced. Jump-start your future with cutting-edge experience in the exciting world of STEAM! From coding and game development to robotics and design, you’ll build in-demand skills and the confidence to problem-solve and innovate like a pro.
ADULT TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION
An emphasis has been put on childhood STEM education that many people in the earlier generations did not experience. With technology constantly advancing, it is a necessity in order to prepare children for their futures and possible STEM careers. Enhancing knowledge on STEM skills can benefit adults in a variety of different ways. It will allow them to be able to better mentor children on the topics and be involved in a variety of youth STEM programs. It can also have major benefits on the individual’s health. With the right approach, adults can learn new STEM material just as effectively and efficiently as children can. It is never too late and no one is ever too old to expand their knowledge on something that is so prevalent in today’s society- such as STEM. Get started with NextGen SmartyPants offering STEM/STEAM classes for adults.
