Catalyst STEM Labs
Summer Program

Two weeks of high-impact programming this summer in Downers Grove for rising 4th-7th graders! 

Advancing Young Minds
While Having Fun!

Industry and technology are evolving faster than schools can keep pace. Catalyst STEM Labs empowers future leaders with an innovative educational approach that sparks excitement.

Hands-On Creating

In our screen-free classes, students engage directly with authentic tools and materials of engineers, such as DC motors, LED lights, voltage meters, and pliers. Students construct and personalize interactive creations and get to take them home!

Advanced Learning

Classes offer advanced exploration of science concepts, such as physics and chemistry. Compelling projects authentically prompt students to wonder and investigate scientific questions, like "How many volts does this circuit need?"

Authentic Design Thinking

Rather than following step-by-step instructions with predefined materials, Catalyst classes engage kids in authentic innovation. Students are faced with genuine design decisions, like how to route circuits and how to attach components.
