Noggin Builders, founded in August 2013, is the perfect place to do just that! Their unique and fun activities for kids ages 2 to 14 help them build the skills they need to succeed in the future. STEM, an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and math, is the focus of their activities. Through the hands-on activities, kids learn important skills like creative problem solving, collaboration, communication, flexibility, and perseverance.
It's never too early to start preparing our kids for the unknown challenges that await them. Noggin Builders offers an amazing opportunity for kids of all ages to build the skills they need for success. With their unique approach to STEM, our children can become the future leaders of the world.
Noggin Builders offers two robotics team options for children in grades 5th-8th. Both teams begin meeting in late August and will compete in the winter.
