About IDEA Lab Kids
What started with a rented space in the back of another business is now a worldwide franchise! IDEA Lab Kids is a true innovator in the STEAM educational space. IDEA Lab Kids offers camps, classes, workshops, and birthday experiences where children engage in coding, engineering, arts, science, 3D design, augmented reality, and other innovative subjects.
IDEA Lab Kids’ inquiry-based STEAM learning merges the principles of STEM learning with creativity to build critical-thinking skills through FUN, hands-on preschool enrichment, after-school classes, camps, birthday experiences, and workshops. STEAM learning is centered around Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics.
Innovation Lab
The Research and Development team works within our Innovation Lab to come up with all the cool and innovative hands-on learning programs.
Innovative Curriculum
Our tested and proven STEAM curriculum was designed by IDEA Lab for IDEA Lab. This ranges from 3D printing, augmented reality, coding, and science investigation, to visual arts and culinary arts.
Why Now
STEAM at IDEA Lab Kids
Science and math used to be for geeks. Not anymore! IDEA Lab Kids integrates the subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, and now Art, to offer some of the most interesting combinations of classes.
Each class, camp, and activity is carefully constructed to provide the ultimate design-based-learning environment while providing a FUN hands-on experience. From figuring out mechanics of spaceship engineering using recycled materials to creating scrumptious desserts in our Culinary Arts series, our IDEA Lab kids are provided the necessary tools to QUESTION, LEARN and INVENT out-of-the-box solutions through arts, sciences, technology, creativity and natural play!
Investing in STEM is Good Business
According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, over the past 10 years, STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics – jobs grew three times as fast as non-STEM jobs and STEM workers commanded higher wages, earning 26% more than their non-STEM counterparts.
By making STEM a focus, we are preparing a society that is more informed on complex issues. Even if the next generation chooses to not pursue these fields as a career, they will undoubtedly bring many of these skills to whatever they end up doing! According to the same U.S. Department of Commerce report, “STEM degree holders enjoy higher earnings, regardless of whether they work in STEM or non-STEM occupations.”

Parent Testimonials
It is every after school care required parent’s dream for their child to be in a safe environment with homework support after school. Extra support for topics like science, technology, whatever e stands for, arts and math is a great investment in a child. It’s also a privilege to have it available and to be able to provide the opportunity. #steamparentwannabe
If you were ever to ask me if LEAVING these kinds of activities would be an issue for a child of mine, I would not even be able to imagine what you were talking about. Prolly because I’d be distracted by that pretty butterfly with no conscious awareness of evolution, physics, art, or that e thing that all are a part of what that pretty butterfly is and does..
Karah has enjoyed all of her extra activities over the years, but she has never felt so passionately about them that they were a currency.
I took away Idea Lab last night for her behavior choices when I pick her up and she worked so hard when we got home to earn IDEA Lab back I am letting them have her today.
Thanks to Idea Lab, the dog poop may be picked up and the empty juice boxes may actually make it to the trash can.
This STEAM thing might actually be working for me!
