Engineering Classes in San Francisco, CA

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!

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.

Curiosity Club (grades TK-2) and Curiosity Creators (grades 3-5) are STEMful after school STEAM programs. Both programs engage student in science, technology, engineering, art and math concepts. We provide pick up at near by schools, light snack and homework support. If your child is from TECA, Dolores Huerta and Alvarado, Flynn Or MEC STEMful staff will do pick at the school. If your child does not attend one of these schools, then caregiver will need to drop-off.

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!

Ever wonder how things work? Engineers do, too! Engineering Wonder camp invites curious minds to dive into the world of design and discovery. Through high-energy games, hands-on building challenges, and creative art projects, your student will step into the shoes of an engineer to invent, test, and make the world function even better!

Calling all Master Builders! 🧱 If you can dream it, you can build it in our STEAM LEGO® Lab. This week, we’re taking our favorite bricks to the next level with interactive builds that move, shake, and solve problems. From ancient inventions to modern-day marvels, students will explore how the objects we use every day have evolved through the power of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. Get ready to build, test, and innovate!
