Robotics & Coding
Whether you have a son who’s in preschool or a daughter that’s going on six years old, enBRIDGEment offers robotics classes that children as young as pre-kindergartners can enjoy. Our junior robotics engineering classes use educational kits like LEGO® WeDo™ Robots to create a perfect mixture of fun and imagination that can help expand your young child’s creative mind. We introduce students to robot design and computer programming using basic machine principles to create robots capable of performing simple tasks.
Invention Lab
Raise our kids to think outside the box! Our Founder created this class to help raise the next generation of innovative thinkers and creative solution-seekers. She believes that being constantly exposed to STEAM stimulates the young minds to perform better in all aspects of life. Our Founder studied many different fields and graduated with multiple degrees in Music, Electrical Engineering, French Literature, and a JD in Law. She worked as an Intellectual Property/Patent attorney for several years where she assisted scientists, engineers, and inventors to secure patents for new products and solutions for tech companies as well as individual inventors. This class mimics the scenarios of her real-life professional experiences. Students will step into the shoes of scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and artists to solve a set of problems by working individually and/or in teams to come up with creative and unique inventions that effectively overcome the problem. Students will have an awesome time doing hands-on projects to invent innovative products and solutions with the materials provided.

They will get the opportunity to create camera obscura and understand how photography started. Kids will have the incredible experience of exploring many of the different effects they can achieve in their photos. They will also learn to be creative in the way they frame their images by taking pictures from different perspectives, working on abstract images and learning to explore whilst they photograph. Digital and film cameras will be provided to students during class.
Cool Crafts & Engineering
If your kids love making things with their hands, then they’ll fall in love with these fun crafts we’ll make! Each week, kids will explore how to make different crafts using different materials. They’ll create wind chimes, Ferris wheels, beautiful music boxes, frisbees, dream catchers, kites, glowing lanterns, glowing & glitter magic wands, disco balls, night lamps and more! Crafting is a form of self-expression, and every child will create the same object differently. It also involves a lot of engineering and mathematical skills. Students will learn about geometric shapes such as isosceles and equilateral triangles, areas & perimeters, degrees of angles such as right angles, how to use a protractor to draw and carve perfect circles for their creations, how to measure in inches and centimeters and more! Crafting involves both left & right brain and strengthens hand coordination and while improving fine motor skills. All materials included.
Creative Sewing for Kids
Learning to sew both clothing & crafts allows your children to broaden their sewing knowledge and skills. Kids will sew and take home their own stuffed animal, mini pillows, gloves, socks, masks, and more!

New Class Added:
Awesome Animal Science
Kids will be blown away in this fun class as they get to experience up close some really cool animals including earth worms, silk worms, hamsters, baby chickens, live fish, hermit crabs, angel fish, lizards, turtles and more! We’ll investigate different animals from vertebrates to invertebrates and their habitats, adaptations, and behavior as well other zoology and mammalian biology. We’ll learn about warm-blooded vs cold-blooded animals, herbivore vs carnivore, predator vs prey, as well as survival of the fittest and extinction.
In our Animal Habitats lesson, students play a game in which different parts of the classroom represent different habitats. Students will need to figure out what the right habitat is for the animal card they are given as they think about the relationship between habitat and animal survival. In the Birds lesson, students learn about the many different types of bird nests and why not all nests are in trees. As they think about the reasons for these differences, they’ll work in teams to build their own model bird nest using natural materials. Students will also learn what type of food or seeds birds eat and how do their eating habits and behaviors differ. How can knowing more about the behavior and food preferences of specific bird species inform how you feed local birds? Kids will have fun building their own bird feeder from craft and recycled materials. These feeders can then be used for experiments to see what kinds of birds are in the local area and what types of food they prefer. Students will also learn about bird migration and how the seasons and ecosystems influence their migration.
During our Fish lesson, we’ll learn what keeps fish from sinking and their special organ (fish's "swim bladder") that fills with gas and provides natural buoyancy in the water. Kids will build an artificial swim bladder to see how it actually works to keep fish from sinking!
In our Insect lesson, students learn about insect adaptations and will invent their own new insects designed to live in a specific environment. We’ll go hunting for different insects in the garden as well as study their antennae, eyes, legs and wings under a microscope!
In our Chicken lesson, students find out how a baby chicken can breathe as it develops in an egg. We’ll investigate how animals that develop in eggs outside of a mother's body take in oxygen by performing an experiment where students will soak eggs in a solution of water (dish detergent and food coloring) and then look for evidence of pores in the shells.
We’ll cover many more lessons in animal science and also discuss about cats and dogs and any other pets that kids have at home. Come and join us for some fun animal cuddling & learning!
