Our Staff

Our team is made up of dedicated educators and enthusiastic college students who bring fresh energy and a passion for science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Many are studying or training in these fields and return year after year to inspire the next generation of thinkers and builders.

They create a safe, positive, and supportive environment where kids are encouraged to experiment, problem-solve, and think creatively. Every team member is carefully selected for their enthusiasm, reliability, and ability to connect with kids.

What Makes Us Terrific

We believe every child has the potential to be a builder, a thinker, a problem-solver—and we’re here to fuel that journey. Whether your child is building a robot, solving a forensic mystery, or designing a video game, they’ll come home with confidence, curiosity, and something cool they created.
