Where curiosity is encouraged

We are an award-winning STEM program open to any student in New London County, ages 6 - 17. Our program is fun and engaging, great for hands-on learners.

Our teams learn to work together to use science and technology skills to compete at local, state, and national levels. Among other events, in 2025, we participated in Zero-Robotics, a competition developed by MIT and NASA, where teams of students submit code to guide an Astrobee robot used on the International Space Station!
