AMAZING!!! Thank you all for an awesome experience that has truly sparked their interest in everything science.

Steve’s love of STEM is topped only by his genuine love for children. He challenges them to seek solutions, instead of providing ready answers. Steve teaches the kids that STEM goes beyond science. No one presents a science concept like Steve. My son calls him a trickster AND a scientist. Steve’s flair for presentation combined with authentic enthusiasm really engage my children. They couldn’t wait for STEM camp to start. It was the highlight of every day and definitely the highlight of the summer. Even with a Zoom class of 30 screens, Steve makes every child feel noticed and special. He praises every child and builds them up. Steve mentors the next generation of scientists, instilling both a sense of wonder and engaging showmanship. His love of teaching and of children is real and palpable.”

As life has moved online I was hesitant and not sure about virtual science, but within the FIRST FEW MINUTES my young scientist was hooked and participating more then he did during any other virtual class.  Steve and the whole team did a great job keeping the kids engaged and participating. Virtual STEM camp was an amazing experience! Don’t tell anyone but… I found myself finishing work early to get to participate in all of the experiments.

My son kept telling me how much he was loving everything and how amazing it was to meet one of his idols. In a time where everything has been so uncertain and so much fun has been canceled, you have brought so much joy to our family!

Each day my twin girls woke up so eager and enthusiastic to start camp, and when it was over would say, “We can’t wait for tomorrow’s experiments!” Thanks to Steve for creating such an engaging experience.

Thank you so much for making learning fun and reigniting the learning flame for my son. I know it sounds silly, but it warmed my heart when I heard him ask a question – I could see and hear his confidence!

The learning keeps happening even after camp is over. Tonight we had a Bubble Olympics competition. Sawyer is absolutely loving camp. Thank you for making it so amazing and fun!

As a parent it has been a pleasure to experience camp alongside my child.  It’s been a unique learning experience to see my child learn a subject and then apply what he has learned later on in the day. Each day he has asked to Facetime his grandparents and aunt who live in California to show them what he has learned from you. Thank you for the amazing week.

On Monday, both my son and daughter said, “Now I love science even more because of STEM camp.” Thanks for making this the highlight of their summer!

It is amazing what can be accomplished with 30 kids on Zoom in an hour! As a scientist myself, I am loving seeing all of the engagement and the interactions the kids get with Steve. Experience of a lifetime.

This week has been awesome! I wish I had a dime for every time Delaney said, “Steve, you’re a genius!”

I’m a 2nd grade teacher & will be using some of Steve’s tricks next year!

Thank you for this experience!

I have to tell you I think this camp is amazing and Steve is great with the kids!  We stumbled on Steve by accident when I was looking for fun stuff to do in quarantine.  I don’t know if you do the virtual camps always or if this was a quarantine solution, but I hope you continue!  Declan loves it!
