Silicon STEM Academy

We can't say enough about Silicon STEM Academy! We love it! (1) Customer-Focused: John and Kelly are the founders and they are truly the nicest business owners you will ever meet! They know everyone’s name and when you’re new, they go out of their way to introduce themselves and get to know your child. As soon as our child walked in the doors, it was like home away from home. John and Kelly started the enrichment after-school program (they also have camps) because they were inspired by their own son when he was growing up. He was really into tech/innovation and less into sports, and there wasn’t anything out in the market for kids like him. Everyone there is super passionate about their programs, and you can tell they really enjoy their jobs. (2) Kid-Friendly: Besides the founders and staff who are wonderful with the kids of all ages, their facility is set up with different fun innovation/work spaces for students. They also offer a wide variety of classes from coding, to battle bots, to stop motion animation, etc. Every other Friday they also offer a 3-hour drop off window where parents leave their kids there to do all sorts of fun activities while the parents get adult time. (3) Parent-Friendly: John and Kelly are great about getting feedback from parents. They are always open to questions and super patient when explaining things to the parents. They have open houses where the entire family is invited to do projects in their space. For example, last holiday they had LED Holiday Card making which was super fun. We highly recommend Silicon STEM Academy and have told many friends/family about it!

My son loved his Silicon Stem camps! The instructors were knowledgeable and the camps were run well. As a parent, I especially appreciated the time campers explained to their parents what they were learning. It gave us a chance to see their skills and experience--a great way for us to be involved, too!

My daughters loved the program they took part in! All hands on and helped them feel more connected to Tech. But it's my son's work here, both as a participant and as a leader that really showed me the amazing value of what Silicon Stem Academy has to offer! He went on to work at a Tech Start up in Denver as he works on his academic plan in Tech. I can't say enough about this remarkable program!

Silicon Stem Academy has been amazing for our son. They make stem relatable, fun and engaging. The instructors take a personal interest in the kids and encourage them to keep learning and creating. Our son first went to a summer camp and from that point on, has been enrolled in after their school programs. We are looking into various high school STEM programs based on his experience from the last year at Silicon Stem Academy. The program and instructors have definitely influenced his passion and eagerness for STEM. John and Kelly (owners) are terrific and very involved.

Silicon Stem Academy has truly been the best thing we've ever done for our son! John and Kelly are amazing people who go above and beyond to ensure each parent and child has a very positive experience. The instructors are more than just highly competent; they are extremely patient and kind. Silicon provides a very collaborative, positive social environment where kids can make new friends with others they share common interests and passions with. It prepares our kids for the future while they are having a blast! I cannot give Silicon enough praise. It's worth every penny and then some. Thank you, Kelly and John for providing this wonderful opportunity for our kids!
