About Us
Why We Do It...
Our mission is to prepare each child for the 21st century through the exploration of of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM). We accomplish this by engaging our participants in programs where they are Building Robots, Coding Games, Developing Graphic Art and Creating Cool 21st Century Gadgets.
When you partner with us, you will find hands-on projects that meet childrens’ abilities & concepts that fit their interests! Whatever their skill level, from beginner to advanced, each of our Workshops, Lab Courses, Summer Camps, and Professional Development programs are thoughtfully crafted to give your children (or adults) a real, hands-on experience.
We are Little Ivy Academy, the place Where All Kids Can!
How We Do It...
We Believe That Teaching & Learning about STEM. . .
Should Be Fun
We all learn better when we enjoy what we are doing. Learning about STEAM/STEM should be engaging and fun, not boring and overwhelming. Our labs and camps are designed to keep your child engaged with hands-on STEAM activities that are exciting and age appropriate.
That is why our programs provide Real Science and Real Fun!
Should Be Challenging
When children are appropriately challenged and asked to solve things for themselves, they become more resilient and independent, allowing them to confidently tackle the evolving opportunities & challenges they will face throughout their life.
This is why we actively support our students as they work towards solving the challenges they confront, allowing them to grow beyond where they believed they could!
Should Be Personal
When we work with children, we recognize that they come to us with unique perspectives and abilities. We will get to know them and tailor our approach to maximize their unique potential for learning.
That is why we create programs that deliver a differentiated learning approach: to provide experiences that uniquely fit each child.

We have a shared vision of how to get children excited about technology through programs that bring active engagement, meaningful discovery and Real fun.
Our staff come from a variety of backgrounds and academic disciplines, yet they are unified by a passion for problem-solving, critical-thinking, and Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM). A passion each of them tries to share with their participants!
