Why It Matters

Why STEM Education Matters More Than Ever

In a world that is rapidly evolving, education needs to be about more than just memorizing facts. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) builds the foundation for how children understand and interact with the world around them.

When kids engage in STEM, they aren't just learning how to code or build robots — they are developing critical thinking, resilience, and adaptability. By tackling hands-on projects, students learn that failure isn't the end of the road, but simply a step in the engineering process. This fosters a growth mindset, encouraging curiosity and prepares kids for fast paced world.

Our Approach

The Perfect Formula: STEM + Real-World Skills

Theory is important, but application is everything. We believe the magic happens when cutting-edge technology meets everyday practicality. That is why our 2.5 hour homeschool program intentionally pairs core STEM education with Real-World Life skills and free play in our High-tech Arena. This program is offered for children 6 - 12 years old.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What ages is the Homeschool STEM Program designed for?

The program is designed for homeschool students ages 6–12. Activities are presented in an age-appropriate, hands-on format, and instructors help students participate at their individual experience level.

When does the Fall 2026 program meet?

The program includes 15 class sessions held over 16 weeks, from August 31 through December 18, 2026. Families may choose Monday, Thursday, or Friday from 12:30–3:00 PM. There are no classes during Thanksgiving week, November 23–27.

Can we rotate between different days of the week?

Families select one class day when enrolling and attend on that same day each week. This consistency helps students build relationships with their classmates and progress through the curriculum together. If an occasional conflict arises, please contact us in advance. Schedule changes are not guaranteed and depend on space availability.

What does each 2.5-hour session include?

Each weekly session includes:

  • 60 minutes of instructor-led STEM education
  • 45 minutes of hands-on Real-World Life Lab activities
  • 45 minutes of supervised social time and free play in the Arena

This format gives students focused instruction, practical application, and time to socialize and explore.

How are students grouped during class?

Students are divided into at least two groups each session, based on age and the number of students attending. This allows instructors to better tailor instruction, pacing, and activities so that both younger and older learners are appropriately challenged and supported.

What subjects will students learn?

Students will explore six exciting STEM tracks throughout the fall:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Cybersecurity
  • LEGO robotics and engineering
  • Space-themed robotics
  • 3D printing and design
  • Drone technology and coding

Each STEM lesson is paired with a related Real-World Life Lab project that helps students apply the same concepts using everyday materials and practical problem-solving.

Who teaches the classes?

Classes are led by trained Arena STEM instructors with experience guiding children through hands-on STEM and enrichment activities. Instructors are trained in the curriculum, equipment, classroom procedures, and age-appropriate student engagement. Because the program covers several specialized subjects, instructors may vary depending on the weekly topic.

Do instructors and staff have background checks?

Yes. Instructors and staff members who work directly with children are required to complete all applicable background clearances before working with students. Student safety and appropriate supervision are priorities throughout every part of the program.

Does my child need previous STEM or technology experience?

No previous experience is required. The program is designed to welcome both beginners and children who already enjoy robotics, coding, engineering, or technology. Instructors provide guidance and appropriate challenges based on each student's comfort and experience level.

Are sibling discounts available?

Yes, sibling discounts are available for families enrolling more than one child. Please contact our team before enrolling so we can explain the current sibling rate and help you select the best payment option.

How much does the program cost?

Families may choose either:

  • $185 per month for four months
  • $689 when paid in full

The paid-in-full option saves $51 compared with the four monthly payments.

Is this a full-time homeschool or academic program?

This is a weekly STEM and real-world-skills enrichment program. It is designed to complement your family's existing homeschool curriculum.

Families seeking a comprehensive, accredited academic option can also learn about AI Edge Academy's full-time hybrid and online private-school programs.
