More Than After School

Every afternoon is a chance to build, create, achieve, and discover. Students explore new interests through hands-on experiences while building skills, confidence, and connections along the way.

And with their own Innovation Passport, they can earn badges and see just how much they’re learning, trying, and accomplishing.

ENGINEER & BUILD

Robotics, engineering, STEM challenges, coding, AI, design thinking, and hands-on problem solving.

Two children are sitting on the floor, one is lying down and another is kneeling, working on a project involving a colorful diagram and written notes. The diagram includes a curved line and various labeled components, with papers and markers scattered around.

LEARN & ACHIEVE

Homework support, academic success, math enrichment, and encouragement from certified educators and university STEM mentors.
