STEAM Education Summer Camp


Future Stars
STEAM Education Camps
 aim to engage campers in a series of innovative subject areas encompassing the disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics.

Future Stars STEAM Education programs address these components, and strives to foster the maker mentality.

Technology helps us communicate, Math is the language, Science and Engineering are the process for thinking, and Art helps merge form with the function. All of these lead to innovation.

Project based learning affords campers the opportunity to excel at their own pace. From introductory activities to more advanced assignments, there's something for everyone.

STEAM Education programs/subject areas include - but are not limited to - Art, Battlebots, 3D Design & Printing, 3D Build w/Minecraft, Coding Concepts, Drone Adventure, LEGO Robotics, LEGO Stop-Motion Animation, Robo Racing, Video Game Design, and more!

A balanced day of skill building, project work, and supplemental activities ensures campers have a perfect blend of instruction and fun!
