My 2 boys ages 9 and 13 are just finishing up their 2nd session so I finally feel like I can leave a knowledgable review. I can’t say enough about Melissa and STEM Center USA. They have built several robots now and they look forward to attending each week. It amazes me to watch my sons problem solve and the patience the staff has with the students. At the end of each session they write in a journal what they have done and keep notes. They are also required to put all of their items away. For me this is an added bonus — to work on their writing and learning responsibility. This has been a great experience so far and we look forward to many more sessions.

Since STEM Center USA has a new business page, along with their new address, I’ve decided to copy my previous review and place it on here with the update that we still LOVE sending our son here. He has learned so much about robotics, engineering, and programming and he’s really grown as a person due to his time at STEM Center. The owners, Melissa and Lavanya, are so hands-on and involved with the business and the kids on a day-to-day basis and they are genuinely excited and proud of what they are doing. After nearly a year, we are still so thrilled with our experience and highly recommend to everyone we know. My Previous Review: We found STEM Center USA completely by accident. Their robotics programs sounded exactly like what we were looking for in a weekly activity for our science-minded and creative kid. Our first visit(sans kid) impressed us enough that we brought him back the next week to check it out. He seemed very interested so we signed him up for a six-week session. Four weeks into it, we are very impressed. Not only is he having fun building robots and learning how to program them using IFTTT statements, he is really excited about it, is inspired, and looks forward to going back each week. Melissa, who runs STEM Center USA, does an amazing job of running this program so that each student’s learning is tailored towards their abilities and pace. She also doesn’t answer the kids questions when they get stuck but, instead, asks them questions that will help lead them to discovering the answer on their own. For any parent who is looking to expose their children to any form of robotics, programming, or engineering, STEM Center USA should be one of their first stops.

Wow! They are moving on up! This place looks amazing and is a great upgrade from their last location. Same folks with more space for student to spread their wings and play(oops, I mean learn). The décor is beautiful, open and well organized. I really like the floor and floor to ceiling glass windows. As soon as you walk in the door you can already tell this is a place you want to be(oops, I mean your STEM excited learning student). The only down side is you have to leave the building for the restroom, however it is nice and clean. The students here are clearly enthralled by all their learning so they must be doing something right. I heard they are also going to be on Shark Tank! No doubt they are going to be successful. Let me help soften the surprise, the CEO is young. More surprising is how composed, knowledgeable, professional, and passionate she is. Never have I seen such genuine enthusiasm in an owner about the work they are doing. Bottom line: come for one orientation and you will become an undeniable fan.

There is no place like STEM Center USA anywhere. This is the ultimate destination for anyone who wants to get meaningful, hands-on experience. Children as young as 5 years to adults visit STEM center to engage in activities such as construction, design, prototyping and programming. Their programs make learning fun and relevant. Whether you want to apply your creativity to build something new, or, learn to program in C, or, design wearable gadget, or build your design using 3D printer, this is the place for you.

My son’s been going here for 2 months. One of the best investments we spent on. By the way my son gets excited, expands his vocabulary and«techie» stuff, we know it’s worth every penny. Hope our school will adopt them as an after-school program soon. The owners are very personable and hands-on e-v-e-r-y aspect of their business. Love the instructors, too.
