About

STEMful offers hands-on STEM and STEAM programs that use a play-based, project-based curriculum blending science, technology, engineering, art, and math. The classroom is described as more workshop than lecture hall, with an emphasis on building, testing, tinkering, and creating. Programs include school break camps, summer camps, afterschool programs, and an “a la carte” camp option for occasional days.

• Ages: 1.5–10 years old
• Schedule: Open Monday–Friday, 9:30 am–6:00 pm PT

Everyday STEMful states that it strives to build children’s confidence around how the world works by guiding them through an engaging, project-based STEM curriculum. The founder, Kim Nguyen-Ehrenreich, earned a bachelor’s degree in zoology with a concentration in marine biology and a master’s degree in oceanography, and she built and led a research lab in cardiovascular science collaborating with world-renowned scientists. STEMful notes that it serves families in the Bay Area and references Bay Area pollinators in its blog content. The program was founded by a mom and scientist who believes early STEM can change everything.

One parent, Sarah Nelson, shares that her child has learned about centrifugal force, kinetic energy, optical illusions, and other science concepts through play in the afterschool program, and describes the teachers as engaging and caring. Another parent, Erin L Gardner, describes STEMful as educational, a great environment, and flexible, and mentions that children go on trips to the park and that staff have supported a child with special needs with an open mind and heart. Parent Katie Loux notes that her 7-year-old and 4-year-old enjoy the camps, mentions the “a la carte” option for occasional days, and says the staff are warm and that the kids get plenty of outdoor time. Parent Natanya B., mom of a 6-year-old, describes STEMful as a special place, says her child has had a great time at camp on several occasions, and reports feeling that her son is well cared for while having a fun and educational experience.
