All our programs in May and June will be ONLINE. All our programs in July and August will have the ONLINE option. Parents can pick up robotics kits at MySTEM Academy and students will attend LIVE classes from home. In-person classes at MySTEM Academy will also be an option when Allegheny County transitions to the Green Phase. Parents may choose either option.

MySTEM Academy provides a unique experience for kids to learn and apply STEM, preparing them to become future innovators and leaders.

Our project-based, hands-on programs allow kids to work collaboratively to solve challenges related to real-world problems. We offer summer camps, after-school classes, and robotics clubs for kids 6-14 years old focused on robotics and programming. With 11 years of experience mentoring robotics teams to participate in regional and international events, our students have won several prestigious international awards and scholarships.

Created by an engineer and a former faculty from Carnegie Mellon University, MySTEM Academy has trained over 4,000 children in the past 10 years.
