Friends
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math might sound like homework assignments, but they can be far from boring! At Albany Exploration Zone, kids learn about these subjects through hands-on activities with exciting materials – in fact, they’ll have so much fun they won’t know they’re learning. The fun doesn’t stop with STEM, either! With a low staff to child ratio and carefully planned high-yield activities, kids will grow and learn social skills, language, problem-solving, and more alongside their peers and positive adults.
We provide the STEM supplies, staff, and activities – your kiddo just needs to arrive ready to have fun! These Saturday classes include an age-appropriate engineering, coding, or construction activity and an additional activity or free time.
Adventurers (Ages 5-11)
Upcoming activities will explore the water cycle, a frog's life cycle, buoyancy, density, seed dispersal, growing pumpkins, coding, circuits, and more!
Builders (Ages 3-5)
Upcoming activities will explore the water cycle, a frog's life cycle, Halloween inspired engineering, seed dispersal, growing pumpkins, coding, circuits, and more!
