STEM Center USA : K-12 Robotics Education — Attraction in Rancho Cucamonga

I really think that STEM Center USA is a hidden gem!! My husband and I searched for a good STEM program for our son, for quite a while. Many programs were in the OC or the Valley. But when I saw that STEM Center USA was going to open a branch in Rancho Cucamonga, I was so excited! We live in Eastvale, which is only 20 minutes away. Before the RC center opened, Lavanya (one of the owners), gave my son and I a comprehensive tour of the Claremont center. She took the time to answer all of our questions, discussed the curriculum, and addressed our goals for our son. Our son is in a robotics club in school, but we wanted him to learn the fundamentals of robotics and coding. And STEM Center USA, has a phenomenal program for this. Our son started his classes in Summer 2019. One of the best things I really appreciate about STEM Center USA, is that each child is able to pick the class that interests them and learn at their own individual pace. The ratio of instructor to student is also one of the best that I have seen. They were also very flexible working around our son’s other extracurricular activities. My son has been very fortunate to learn VEX from Melissa (the owner). He always looks forward to his 2-hour session on Saturdays. Melissa is an engineer who is very knowledgeable and is great at communicating and interacting with kids. At the end of the session, our son gets to show us what he’s done for the day with his robot. The kids are also required to write a summary of what they did. Melissa is always available to answer our questions and talk about the plan for the following weeks. Gio and the other instructors who work with Melissa at STEM Center USA are also very friendly, knowledgeable, and great with the kids. A Summer Camp is also available and in the spring, they will be holding “Roboreka” (where the kids can show off their cool robots and have them compete against each other). I would definitely recommend this place to all of my family and friends. My son can’t wait to learn as much as he can from STEM...

My daughter is a kindergartener enrolled in a charter school homeschool program. I first learned about STEM Center from our vendor list and was excited to find out that it was only 20 minutes away from our house.

My Kindergartener has been taking Early STEM with them for 2 months already. I was suspicious at first because the classes were short (45 minutes) so I was curious how much she would benefit from the program, especially being a young, shy kid she is with little exposure to STEM topics before. It only took one day to convert her into a fan of her new program. The classes follow a curriculum, but students are allowed to add their own creativity to their work. She learned how to build, count, write, measure, weigh, and so many new skills! She had so much fun learning new topics every week that she wouldn't stop talking about her experience to everyone she knows! Mondays become the day that she looks the most forward to because of that.

I must say the best part of STEM Center is their staff. They are very friendly and passionate about their teaching. Everyone I have spoken to, from the owner Melissa to the manager Frida, and to the instructors Miss Armie and others, everyone is always so patient and welcoming to us and the other families. I am very grateful to find such a high quality program that truly cares about the students and inspires them in every way.

I highly recommend STEM Center USA and hope everyone enjoys the same! Big thanks the team for all your hard work...

We couldn't be more thrilled with the impact this robotics and coding program has had on my kids. Since joining, we've seen a remarkable boost in their self-confidence and creative thinking. In some sessions, the kids get to build their character/robot before coding it, making the learning experience even more engaging. We also perceived a significant influence on their math skills. We know that coding and math are related. The hands-on activities are a standout feature, allowing the kids to see the concrete outcomes of their coding. It's truly transformed learning programming into a concrete and fun, experiential process.

We also have great confidence in the curriculum, which is clearly well-designed. Prospective parents should definitely look into the founders' backgrounds; their solid expertise in STEM fields is evident. And, we absolutely love all the instructors—they are knowledgeable, supportive, and make learning so much fun....
