Why Do Parents Love Our After-School Activities & Classes?

Parents love Engineering For Kids of Central Florida for many reasons, some of which include:

• We create a learning enrichment environment that’s suitable and enjoyable for children between the ages of 4 and 14
• Our esteemed educators are highly trained, kind, and compassionate
• We offer a variety of programs at different times to accommodate almost any schedule

Studies show that children enjoy going to school when they have fun after-school activities to attend. Our enrichment classes serve as the perfect win-win for parents and children alike. They also allow children to create new interests and build friendships that can last a lifetime.

After School Programs

FUN! Educational Brain Sport!
Engineering is a “team sport”

We put the EXCITEMENT in S.T.E.M. education by offering engaging, age appropriate, inquiry based, hands-on-learning for children ages 4 to 14 through FUN activities from designing and constructing rockets, hot air balloons, and roller coasters to programming and coding LEGO® Robots and video games. We invite you to find out why our young engineers take our classes every year!

No other program compares!

We offer the most comprehensive Engineering Enrichment Program! Our students do not repeat the same curriculum, unless requested as an encore class.

Our focus is developing our students’ problem solving, critical thinking, and teamwork skills. These life skills provide students with the confidence to approach challenges in their lives and realize that they can succeed.

In addition to the development of S.T.E.M Conceptual Skills, Software & Hardware Skills, and 21st Century Skills gained by completing our vast amount of Engineering For Kids courses, our students also start to develop Engineering “Habits of Mind”. Habits of mind are traits or ways of thinking that affect how a person looks at the world or reacts to a challenge. Engineering habits of mind are aligned with what many believe are essential skills for citizens in the 21st century.

Engineering Habits of Mind

• Communicate Effectively
• Use Systems Thinking
• Work Effectively in Teams
• Are Persistent
• Apply Math & Science to Problem Solving
• Make Data-driven Decisions

Program Feedback:

“I send out emails to all my parents at the end of the semester asking for feedback on the classes. Yours (Engineering For Kids) has been the only one to date with not only no negative comments, but people begging for it to come back.” – After School & Camp Coordinator (An area international private school)
