Explore Our After-School Stem Clubs
Science Explorers is proud to offer after-school stem clubs where kids can unleash their inquisitive nature. Our experienced educators follow a carefully created STEM curriculum designed to encourage hands-on learning while making science fun and exciting.
In our STEM programs, kids might dig for dinosaurs, craft a submarine that sinks and floats, learn the science behind glow-in-the dark slime, and experience an out-of-this-world adventure as they journey through space. The possibilities are endless with our interactive, action-packed STEM activities.
We dive into various subject areas and themes, including chemistry, geology, marine biology, physics, astronomy and engineering. Explore our enrichment programs to see what sparks your child’s interest.
Slime Squad
Slime Squad
Welcome to Slime Squad—where the fun never stops, and the slime never dries! Get ready to squish, stretch, and glow with the coolest, gooiest creations around. Sink your hands into the soft, moldable magic of sand slime, watch your masterpieces light up the dark with luminescent slime, and stretch the sweet, bouncy fun of bubble gum slime while blowing epic bubbles (just don’t actually chew it!). Whether you’re here to experiment, create, or just make a glorious mess, our club is the ultimate slime-lover’s paradise.
Freaky Physics
Freaky Physics
Get ready to freak out with physics as you examine forces, see how physics and engineering are related as you compete in a tower building challenge, create a circuit to power a cool motorized “bristle-bot”, and explore the marvels of magnetism.
Grossology Lab
Grossology Lab
Ever wondered if mucus is secretly part of your daily diet? Do you know where in your body you’re making a cement-like substance? What happens to your cells when you sweat? Find out the wacky science going on inside all of us! We’ll make our own mucus-like green slime, create body spray to keep us smelling good, make an explosion of gas bubbles, mix up noisy putty, and use chemistry to show how to neutralize stomach acids. We like to call it a “cool kind of gross”!
Hocus Pocus!
Hocus Pocus!
Amaze and astound your friends with some awesome science magic! Master the art of illusion and discover the scientific secrets behind these tricks. Use your newfound skills to make an egg sink or float on command, make water disappear, and shock your family and friends when you cut a hole in a piece of copy paper big enough to walk through.
Secret Agent Academy
Secret Agent Academy
Dive into the world of espionage, decoding secret messages, testing spy gadgets and revealing invisible messages! You’ll master the art of communication using a special code breaker to decode and create messages just like real-life spies. Plus, make a device to spy on your surroundings undetected. Get ready for a thrilling, hands-on adventure in the world of science and secrecy!
Art with a Twist
Join us for an exciting blend of creativity and discovery! In this club, we’ll combine the world of art with the wonders of science. From brushes to circuits to nature, you’ll explore innovative ways to create art. Build your very own spin art machine, experiment with fizzing paint, craft vibrant masterpieces using natural pigments, and trick your brain with unbelievable optical illusions. Whether you’re a budding artist or a future scientist, this club has something for everyone!
Science Mash-Up
Science Mash-Up
Get ready for a thrilling mix of science, creativity, and mind-blowing discoveries! Each week, we’ll dive into a new world of fun—stretch and squish buttery soft slime, explore the forces of physics (can we defy gravity?), discover the weird world of mysterious microbes, and design a mechanical oscilloscope to project mesmerizing light patterns. Whether you love to create, experiment, or just be amazed, there’s something exciting waiting for you every week!
