MySTEM Academy Classes are suspended since 3/13/2020. Our calendar of classes will be extended by a week for every week of suspension until all classes are completed. We commit to providing to every child the classes he/she signed up for. Note that classes may now extend into April and May depending on how long PA schools are closed. Thank you for your support as we strive to maintain a healthy and safe environment for our students. We love working with young scientists and innovators and need to put their health and safety above all. We'll continue monitoring the situation and communicating with you. Please pay close attention to your email in the coming days and weeks.

MySTEM Academy provides a unique path where kids learn and apply STEM, preparing them to become future innovators and leader.

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 3,000 children in the past nine years.
