One of the best parts of our summer programs is walking into a room full of students who aren't quite sure what to expect and watching them overcome challenges, then leave excited about what they're capable of building!

That's exactly what we'll be doing next week at IDEA Elsa. Students will spend the week designing, building, coding, experimenting, and discovering that STEM is about creativity, problem-solving, and confidence just as much as science and technology.

A big thank you to IDEA Elsa for continuing to invest in experiences that inspire the next generation of innovators.

We can't wait to meet everyone and get started!

Calling all incoming 8th graders!

Get ready for Nerdvana STEM Camp, where curiosity meets creativity! Join us July 27–29 from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM for three exciting days of coding, robotics, engineering, science experiments, teamwork, and hands-on fun.

Pizza lunch is included!
Drop-off: 8:30 AM at IDEA Elsa
Reserve your spot today!

For more information, please reach out to Mrs. Segura. We can't wait to see you there!

Check out our latest program with Edcouch-Elsa ISD! Students from Carlos F Truan STEM Academy got hands-on with Drone Automation this Spring Semester!

Students explored the power of programming to control drones to follow their commands! Our students used a variety of sensors and programming commands to achieve obstacle avoidance and more!

This is the first step in learning the level of programming and precision needed in real-world technology like self-driving cars and other automated technologies.

We are extremely thankful to Edcouch-Elsa ISD and Texas Education Agency ACE Program for creating opportunities for South Texas scholars to explore what the careers of the future in technology and automation can look like.

Students from JFK Elementary participated in an awesome project last spring. Learning how to build, assemble, and construct these amazing letters for their campus was something new and exciting!

Students were able to get hands-on experience with tools while learning how to build from scratch and see a project come to life!!!
