The program blends urban exploration with meaningful, age-appropriate learning, including engaging field trips throughout Boston and opportunities to meet STEM experts.
The Advent School's Design at Advent summer program offers dynamic STEM experiences for children aged 5-12, focusing on hands-on engineering and design thinking. Each two-week session encourages young learners to build, experiment, and create, fostering problem-solving skills and confidence. The program incorporates engaging field trips throughout Boston to museums, science centers, local parks, and innovative community spaces, connecting classroom learning to real-world environments and challenges. Students also have opportunities to meet experts in STEM fields, gaining firsthand insights into potential careers. The curriculum is grounded in the belief that all children are creative problem solvers and emphasizes the importance of collaboration. Designers learn proper tool use and engage in the design process, often starting with recycled materials. The program culminates in a Design Expo where students share their creations and prototypes with friends and family.
Each day, designers and faculty explore the city, play games, and gather inspiration, with structured activity time built into the daily schedule.
This program is best for curious minds aged 5-12 who enjoy hands-on activities, creative problem-solving, and exploring how STEM applies to the world around them.
