Thank you 💟

We launched STEAMwhiz in Fall of 2020 to provide more opportunities for our local students to prepare for an AI 🤖 future. We have been able to introduce our advance STEM curricula that we have designed specifically to intercept students EARLY (6-13 yrs old) using project-based learning to students from all over the Capital District NY. It is through our communities support that we have had the privilege to serve and now we will expand The STEM Learning Lab to new heights 🚀

Amazing Location 🏢

We’ve been working with Paul and Jonathan at Hoffman Real Estate Developers and signed our lease. They have been great, and renovations are underway! We are looking forward to our partnership as we continue to grow into the future. We hope to have a test run at the new lab for Spring Break Camps and then officially move in by Summer. Our new HQ will be located at 1 Charles Blvd, Guilderland NY in Charles Park. Hopefully, you will see our STEAMwhiz Logo going up off new Karner Rd over the coming weeks as Russ Sr from Ray Signs out of Schenectady begins 🥳

What does this mean 🤔

We hope this will allow us to better serve all our families who have been on our wait-lists. You might see Technical Director Dr J & Program Director Allie teaching labs a bit more while we are in transition. We also have been listening to our parents, and we will offer even more options for our students, including two major opportunities

Open Lab Hours
Students enrolled in our Semester Labs will have the opportunity to continue growing after our teaching labs. Our equipment and tools will have open lab hours where enrolled students can be dropped off after school and continue working on their projects 🛠️

Robotics Competitions
We will be forming local teams to compete at local, state, and national levels via VEX Robotics Competitions 🔥Dr J will offer Robotics Labs starting this Fall; teach the fundamentals of Robotics & Mechanical Engineering to prepare students for competition starting in January 2025. If you are interested, contact us so we can plan accordingly⚙️

Stay Tuned!!!

STEAMwhiz + VEX Robotics 💟

Many have heard about LEGO’s First Lego League (FLL) but have you heard of the VEX Robotics? Dr J will write an article on why we chose to begin with VEX Robotics in the coming weeks. In the mean time check out VEX Robotics and see what it’s all about 🥳 We plan to form teams this coming Fall.
