Innovators Pathway

Innovators Pathway Program

Real STEM. Real tools. Real fun.

From kindergarten curiosity to middle-school mastery, the Pathway gives every kid a clear runway—and plenty of exits—to explore coding, electronics, robotics, and digital design at their own pace.

The Two Pathway Levels Enrolling Now:

  • STEAM Explorers (K–2)
    Big eyes, little hands, giant “aha!” moments. Each month swings to a fresh topic—think LEGO robots, messy science, and mini 3-D prints.
  • Foundational Innovators (Grades 3–5)
    Solid skills, solid fun. Scratch games, simple circuits, first CAD files, and robots that actually move.
