Explore, Build & Create with STEM & Innovation

A project-based program where Grade 5 students explore real-world problems through science, technology, engineering, and mathematics - guided by Harvard student mentors.

Skills You'll Build

Every week integrates multiple STEM areas through hands-on, project-based activities

Scientific Inquiry

Experiments, observation, hypothesis testing - learning to ask 'why' and 'how' through hands-on investigation

Technology & Coding

Introduction to computational thinking, Scratch, and beginner-friendly coding tools

Engineering Design

Design challenges and prototyping - build models, create solutions, and iterate on ideas

Mathematics & Data

Patterns, measurement, and data analysis through real-world projects and problem-solving

Creative Problem-Solving

Combining STEM disciplines to tackle real-world challenges with innovative thinking

Week-by-Week Journey

From curiosity to creation in 6 weeks of project-based learning
