About
Edge on Science Summer STEM Programs offers hands-on, project-based activities in applied science and engineering, including Mechanical Engineering Makerspace, BIOmedical Academy, Hexapod Robotics, Space Science, Super Science Sampler, Drone & Code, Summer Rocket Blast Off, Bridge Building, 3D Modeling & Design, Viking Adventures, Catapult Engineering, and Marine Science. Children take part in specific projects such as 3D printing and design, Computer Aided Design (CAD), 3D modeling and printing, robotics, space science, bridge building, Viking adventures, and model rocket building and flying. The program includes activities like learning how to code instructions for a drone, using simulation software to test different designs, motors, and flight conditions, designing and load testing a take-home model truss bridge, team-building four different bridges including a suspension bridge, designing and prototyping a model electric car powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, building two trebuchets in teams, and diving into marine ecology connected to whale conservation.
• Schedule: Programs run daily from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with extended drop-off as early as 8:00 a.m. and pick-up as late as 6:00 p.m.
• Price: $50 off any 2nd week • $75 off any 3rd week • $100 off any 4th + week
Edge on Science Summer STEM Programs offers 13 different interactive and hands-on STEM programs designed for young scientists and engineers. Many years and programs later, Edge on Science has evolved to offer eleven different topics in applied science and engineering. The mission of Edge on Science is to offer hands-on STEM programs designed to ignite a passion for science and engineering in young minds. The leadership includes John Aviste, Founder of Edge on Science. Instructors are engineers, scientists and/or scholars. Edge on Science has been active from 2013 to 2025 as Edge on Science, LLC, and has been recognized as a BostonParents Top 5 in STEM. Over 1,700 families are involved with Edge on Science. One parent described Catapult Engineering as “non-stop, hands-on physics fun with a medieval flair.”
