Summer STEM Circles

Fuel your child's curiosity and creativity at our exciting STEM Summer Camps!

STEM Summer Circles offer a variety of topics for New Mexican students. These are designed to be focused on a single theme related to STEM and STEAM topics.

Program information

It is our pleasure to offer a variety of STEM/STEAM Summer STEM circles this summer at different locations. Each session is throughout ONE week and you can sign up your child for one or more session based on their interests.

Snack donations are welcome! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions on which types of snacks to provide.
  • Registration is on a first come first serve basis and space is limited. You will receive an email informing you that your child has either been enrolled or placed on a waiting list if the limit is reached.
  • The registration fee is non-refundable.
  • Donations are accepted and appreciated!
