Why is STEM education important?

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education matters because it teaches critical thinking and problem solving in a real world atmosphere. People in STEM make important contributions to improve the nation's living standards, economic growth, and global competitiveness. Imaginarium encourages problem solving, creativity and critical thinking.

Our mission

Our goal is to provide a space for the next generation of makers, builders, creators, engineers, and entrepreneurs to grow and flourish. Our team is passionate about STEM, and we strive to instill the same passion for innovation and discovery in students of all ages.
