Engineering Classes Near Me

Discover the fascinating intersection of acoustics and engineering. In this workshop, students will investigate the physics of sound, learning how vibrations travel to create the music we love. Through the lens of 'Musical STEMology,' we will analyze the mathematical patterns in rhythm and harmony, utilize digital technology to create soundscapes, and apply engineering principles to design custom instruments. Join us for an acoustic exploration of how science brings sound to life. Note: Aftercare runs until 5:30 PM on 12/21–12/23, and until 4:00 PM on 12/24.

In our STEM LEGO® class we use LEGO® bricks to teach concepts of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through a play-based model of learning. Kids construct a unique model each week using project instructions and LEGO kits. All models are interactive and classes are thematically linked to deepen and support a child’s understanding and vocabulary for STEM concepts. Each session covers new topics/subjects. Topics and discussions are geared for our younger TK, Kinders, and 1st graders. Free-play time rounds outs the class giving our students an opportunity to develop their creativity.

In “What’s in our air?” students will build and use devices to understand the composition of the air we breathe. In this year-long experience, participants will develop practical engineering, computer programming, and teamwork skills while gaining improved understanding of our environment and how it is changing. We aim to build a low-cost air quality monitor, communicate with it via custom Python computer code, and use it to monitor the air near Pittsburgh. We also aim to plan and perform a weather balloon launch, and examine the data the balloon collects. We will compare our measurements of today’s air with historical extreme pollution in the Pittsburgh region, and with fully pristine natural conditions. A stipend will be awarded to participants at the conclusion of the program!

In the Applied Science Lab, students explore real-world science through fun, hands-on experiments. Each week, they build working projects like helicopters, flashlights, wind turbines, and more using everyday materials. The class encourages creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork while teaching core science and engineering concepts. No screens or kits—just engaging, interactive learning. It’s the perfect class for curious kids who love to build, explore, and discover how things work

Embark on an exciting robotics adventure as students build and code imaginative creations like the Majestic Lion, Sea Turtle, and Alien Capture. Using LEGO® motors, sensors, and an easy drag-and-drop coding interface, they'll explore engineering, problem-solving, and creativity through hands-on STEM challenges in every class. (Please note: IntelliBricks will provide all LEGO® and computers for the camp. Children cannot take home any of their creations or LEGO® products. LEGO® group of companies does not sponsor, authorize or endorse any of our programs.)

Deconstruct, Design, and Discover! Step into the shoes of an engineer as we investigate how things work and find ways to make them even better. Our young innovators will tackle real-world challenges through immersive building activities, using critical thinking to turn new ideas into reality. Join us for a week of hands-on experimentation as we build the future, one project at a time!

Perfect for your young scientist, this program introduces fun, hands-on activities that make science easy and exciting to understand. Tailored just for kids, Mini Lab sparks curiosity while helping them discover the wonders of science in an engaging, playful environment.

Energy is everywhere, but how does it actually work? Join us for an exploration of all things kinetics! This hands-on camp pulls back the curtain on the various forms of energy that power our lives. Students will investigate the 'hidden motion' of the universe, learning how the movement of tiny electrons, atoms, and molecules creates the physical world we see. Through creative engineering challenges and scientific experiments, your young scientist will master the principles of kinetic energy from the microscopic level to the massive.

Engineering is all about finding out how things are built and why, and solving problems. Students will explore with tinkering and creating using a variety of materials. They will be empowered to take apart, engineer, and build, to construct an understanding of how things are made.

Science offers a unique lens through which we can understand the world around us. Each field has its own methods and perspectives, but they all contribute to a greater understanding of our universe. From Chemistry to Engineering, students will discover that there are many ways to explore the world through different kinds of science. Exploring these fields can spark curiosity and innovation, making science an exciting adventure!

For returning SeaPerchers only! Over the course of this hands-on program, you'll expand on your ROV build and design. You will test your underwater robot, while exploring the fascinating intersections of engineering, physics, and teamwork. Whether you’re a budding engineer or just curious about how things work, SeaPerch offers an exciting, immersive experience that takes STEM learning to new depths. Don’t miss the chance to make waves and discover what’s beneath the surface! For participants in 6th- 12th grade!

Designed for curious young minds, this program offers exciting, hands-on science activities that encourage exploration and discovery. With experiments and challenges made just for kids aged 7–12, our Weekend Workshops will dive deep into the world of science in a fun, interactive way - building confidence, creativity, and a love for learning.

More than preschool. A place where curiosity becomes learning. The Snapology Early Learning Lab is a small-group, instructor-led educational enrichment program where children learn through building, exploration, creativity, and play. We use LEGO® bricks and other hands-on materials as tools to teach engineering, science, technology, math, literacy, creativity, and critical thinking—not simply how to build with LEGO. Each class introduces real STEM concepts through exciting themes like dinosaurs, animal science, space, engineering, simple machines, nature, weather, and introductory robotics. Through stories, games, experiments, building challenges, and creative projects, children develop school-readiness skills while learning to ask questions, solve problems, collaborate, and discover why things work. Unlike many larger preschool settings, our Early Learning Lab features small class sizes, allowing instructors to personalize activities, support each child's development, and provide additional challenges as they grow. Whether your child is new to STEM or already loves to build, they'll be encouraged to think, create, and explore in a fun, engaging environment. While designed for potty-trained children ages 3–6, Children up to age 8 with developmental or learning differences may also be a good fit. Participants must be able to engage safely in a small-group setting without one-on-one support. Please contact us before registering so we can discuss your child’s needs and ensure the program is an appropriate fit.
