STEM at Resource Room
Real Learning. Real Skills. Real Confidence.
At Resource Room, STEM is not just a subject. It is how students learn to think, solve, and build confidence. We use STEM intentionally across our programs because it develops the exact skills students need both in school and in life.
Why We Do STEM
We want to encourage and guide students to:
- Break down complex problems
- Think step by step
- Persist through challenges
- Apply knowledge in real situations
That is exactly what STEM builds.
Through hands-on activities, students learn to:
- Think critically
- Make decisions
- Collaborate
- Problem solve under pressure
These are the same skills that drive success in math, reading, test-taking, and beyond.
STEM With Purpose (Not Busy Work)
Every activity is designed to:
- Challenge thinking
- Build independence
- Strengthen focus and persistence
- Connect learning to real-world application
This is especially powerful for students who:
- Struggle with attention or motivation
- Need hands-on learning
- Benefit from structured, guided problem solving
Where You’ll Find STEM at Resource Room
STEM Camps (Summer & Track-Out)
Our camps are where STEM comes to life. Students engage in:
- Engineering challenges
- Robotics and coding
- Science experiments
- Collaborative builds and competitions
The goal: engaged learning that doesn’t feel like school—but builds real skills
When school is out, learning doesn’t stop. Our STEM-based workday programs provide:
- Structured activities
- Social interaction
- Hands-on learning experiences
Parents get peace of mind. Students stay active, engaged, and learning.
Parent Night Out (Family Programs)
We also bring STEM into our family and social programs.
These sessions are:
- Fun
- Interactive
- Collaborative
Students build, experiment, and explore while parents enjoy a night out.
It’s enrichment disguised as fun.
Does STEM Actually Help Academically?
Yes! And we see it every day!
Students who regularly participate in STEM-based learning show improvement in:
- Problem-solving ability
- Math reasoning
- Reading comprehension (especially informational texts)
- Focus and task completion
Studies have also shown that a large majority of students who pursue higher education have had exposure to STEM programs early on.
But more importantly:
We see the difference in confidence.
Students begin to say:
- “I can figure this out.”
- “Let me try again.”
- “I get it now.”
That mindset shift is everything.
The Resource Room Difference
We are educators. That means:
- Activities are intentional
- Instruction is guided
- Students are supported where they are
We meet students at their level and build them up from there.
Who This Is For
STEM at Resource Room is especially powerful for students who:
- Need a break from traditional learning
- Benefit from hands-on instruction
- Struggle with focus or engagement
- Enjoy building, experimenting, and creating
- Need confidence in problem solving

STEM Courses
All Courses
STEM Themed Trackout & Summer Camps
Looking for an educational Camp experience? Our STEM weeks offer a unique opportunity for students to learn in a hands-on “funducational” manner during the day all while socializing through team building activities and projects!
Introduction to Drones: Take Flight! (K-2nd)
Students will be introduced to drones. Students will experience how flight occurs and what is necessary for animals and objects to take flight.
Intro to Robots: What is a Robot? Booking NOW (Grades K-2)
Early learners answer the questions “What are robots?” “How do they work?” and “What can they do?” Young learners are encouraged to combine creative thinking and intrinsic motivation using cutting-edge technology and Scratch, a free-to-use drag-and-drop creative learning environment developed by MIT Media Lab.
Discovery of Drones! Booking NOW (Grades 3-5)
Young learners answer the questions “What is the history of Unmanned Aviation?” and “How do they work?” Students learn how to program drone flight through coding in the Droneblocks application.
Discovery of 3D Design Using Tinkercad (Grades 3-5)
Young learners answer the question "How does 3D Printing work?” Students will learn how to build and modify designs using concept and design software. Students will translate those designs into code, learning the fundamentals of “slicing”. Through a hands-on approach, students will create tangible products from our in-house 3D printers.
Discovery of Robots: Coding mBot (Grades 3-5)
Welcome to Introduction to Robots! In this course, students will go on an exploration of robotics. Through a series of activities that support inquiry and hands-on learning, students will develop an understanding of how robots function and the purposes for which they are used. Students will have the opportunity to learn how to code in the mBlockly application and program their own mBot robots. The final lessons of the course include a team competition in which students will apply the skills they’ve learned and a debate in which students consider important ethical questions around the use of robots in the modern world.
Exploration of 3D Development (Grades 6-8)
Students answer questions such as “What is the Engineering Design process?” and “How can I use it to design in 3D printing for a purpose?” Students will demonstrate proficiency in using 3D Design tools from design to print out.
Exploration of Drones: Coding with Tello (Grades 6-8)
Students explore and apply how Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones) are used and function. Students will integrate algebraic thinking, programmatic knowledge, and use case scenario abstraction to control drones in Tello.
Exploration of Robots: Coding mBot for a Purpose (Grades 6-8)
Students answer questions such as, “What can a robot do?” and “How can a robot be coded to do so?” Students learn to code in the mBlockly application and program their own mBot robots for a specific purpose.

Lego Robotics using BricQ
This program offers students the opportunity to learn about and explore kinetic forces through hands-on experiences. Students will build out LEGO designs that will allow them to learn about forces such as gravity, friction, propulsion & more through play. Each class will engage students with hands-on activities as well as guided lessons to develop their understanding of the physical world.
