DISCOVER STEM WITHOUT SCREENS™

While many educational summer programs for kids rely heavily on computers, our STEM Without Screens™ philosophy champions real-world, screen-free exploration as a powerful way to build foundational skills in science, technology, engineering, and math. 

Built around the best gear from Strawbees, LEGO, Unruly Splats, and more, our unplugged approach helps kids develop:

✔ Fine-motor coordination and spatial awareness

✔ Concrete understanding of scientific and engineering principles

✔ Confidence through hands-on success and productive failure

✔ Creativity and collaboration through teamwork-based challenges

Many BAM! summer courses also incorporate screen technology, but always with intention—and without the digital overload that comes from excessive screen time.

IMPACT THAT LASTS LONG AFTER SUMMER

At BAM!, summer isn’t just a break from school. With Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) woven into every session, it’s a bridge to vital life skills your child will carry with them through school, college, and beyond.

  • Confidence & Independence: Kids take the lead on projects, make choices, and tackle challenges, leveling up their self-reliance.
  • Friendship & Collaboration: Through team challenges, group games, and creative projects, campers form meaningful connections with friends of diverse interests and backgrounds.
  • Critical Thinking & Creativity: From designing robots to creating art or solving real-world problems, kids learn to think deeply and innovate.
  • Physical Resilience: Outdoor play, group games, and sports strengthen kids’ bodies and boost their ability to overcome obstacles.
  • Joyful Learning: Every BAM! activity is designed with fun in mind. The best reward is hearing parents say, “My child had such a blast, they didn’t even realize they were learning!”
