Empow Studios

Empow Studios After-School Club (ASC) is a unique care and enrichment program that brings together technology, arts, and play. Whether your child is programming their first robot or creating a self-watering garden in Minecraft, we nurture their creativetalent, build up their imagination, and spark interests that can open up new possibilities, while accommodating individual differences. ASC is open on early release days and is a designated drop-off-location for the Lexington Public Schools Transportation Department.<br/><br/>The ASC schedule includes physical breaks and snack time. Homework is done and checked daily, with support from our staff. During Project Time, kids will continue working on their favorite video games, robots, and Scratch projects, or start a new project within our Tech &amp; Design curriculum. Kids end the day with Choice Time, which includes group games, Minecraft, LEGO free-building, and other creative activities.<br/><br/>Empow also runs camps during February Vacation, April Vacation, and over the Summer. Kids can choose between Tech &amp; Design Camp and Minecraft Camp. At Tech &amp; Design Camp, kids build awesome projects in robotics, video game design, animation, programming / coding, 3D modeling &amp; 3D printing, digital audio &amp; video, and music production. During Minecraft Camp, we teach electrical engineering (via redstone) modding, architecture, game design, and world creation, all while developing teamwork and social skills. Both of these camps are either in your town or right around the corner! Empow will be running camps in Boston s Back Bay, Belmont, Brookline, Cape Cod, Lexington, Newton-Needham, and Westford.<br/><br/>Other Empow programs include one-day NanoCamps when schools are closed, weekend technology clubs, birthday parties, and private lessons.… Read more
