In the bubbly boisterous land of New Jersey, a swarm of young, bright-eyed explorers called Kids of STEM/STEAM, or as we like to call them, "Brainy Bunch," are always on a whimsical adventure. This sunny state, shaped like a jigsaw puzzle piece, is home to a variety of enchanting landscapes, from the sparkling Atlantic coastline to the dizzying heights of the Appalachian Mountains. But what makes it even more magical are the giggling troves of Brainy Bunch, each armed with their favorite tool – be it a microscope, a paintbrush, or a robot they've built from scratch! Our very own Brainy Bunch are not ordinary kids. They are super kids! They can unravel the mysteries of the universe, decode the language of computers, build towering structures, create enchanting melodies and paint their dreams into reality – all before they sit down for lunch! Our fearless friend, Bucky the Beaver, is their guide. Bucky, with his magnetic personality, and an infectious laugh that sounds like water splashing against the river rocks, wears a shiny lab coat adorned with all sorts of peculiar gadgets, all as colorful as his personality! In the heart of New Jersey, the Brainy Bunch, led by Bucky, turn ordinary days into extraordinary explorations. They dive into the ocean’s depths to converse with curious creatures, climb mountains to chat with chirpy birds, delve into dark caves to investigate hidden treasures, and even travel to the mysterious realms of outer space! Yes, it's funny, but it's also true! Because in the land of New Jersey, the Brainy Bunch knows no boundaries. Every day is a new journey, every moment a new discovery, and every laugh a celebration of their shared love for STEM/STEAM.

Learning should be fun! Our interactive classes allow children to immerse in different cultures and learn about the world through problem-solving and play. Each month we virtually travel to a new country and spend 4 weeks there exploring sights, sounds and tastes.
