Empow Studios | Empowering the Next Creative Generation

empow me logo

Empow Studios brings technology, arts, and play together to help young learners discover and build on their creative talents.

The need for basic technology literacy is great, and the list of tools and technologies that can excite and engage children is ever-growing. In our project-based STEM programs, students learn to design, build, and code projects that they are proud to share with family & friends – while they learn the fundamentals of engineering and computer science in the process.

At our two studios in Lexington & Newton, and our camp and class locations across MA, Empow Studios is where kids learn to design, build, and code.

Empow’s Teaching Philosophy

Empow’s learning philosophy based on creative play borrows from John Dewey’s instrumentalism, Piaget’s constructivism, and Papert’s constructionism in asserting that passions, perceptions, and experience play a crucial role in how a person builds and maintains his or her understanding of the world. Even in the supposedly coldly rational world of STEM, love and play drive learning. They are what makes our lives meaningful, worthwhile, and fun. That’s where we start.

After-School Club – Empow Studios’ After-School Club (ASC) is a unique care and enrichment program that brings together technology, arts, and play.

The ASC schedule includes physical breaks and snack time. Homework is done and checked daily, with support from our staff. During “Project Time,” kids will continue working on their favorite video games, robots, and Scratch projects, or start a new project within our Tech & Design curriculum. Kids end the day with “Choice Time,” which includes group games, Minecraft, LEGO free-building, and other creative activities.

Clubs, Nano camp, and Classes

Many of our campers enjoy Empow Studios’ varied weekend clubs (Robotics, Coding, Video Game Design, Minecraft, YouTube and Girls STEAM), Nano camp (day camps) and variety of workshops, classes, and private lessons.
