Future Makers 2026 | STEM for Young Innovators (Ages 3–6)

Future Makers is GreenSTEM Education’s newest STEM program designed specifically for young learners aged 3–6 and their families.

Building on the success of Little LEGO Learners, this program introduces children to the foundations of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through engaging, hands-on experiences that spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence.

Delivered at The Makers Technology & Innovation Hub, Future Makers provides a welcoming and inspiring environment where young people can explore, build, experiment, and learn through play.

Led by experienced early childhood educator Monica Edwards, each session is carefully designed to support early learners through meaningful, age-appropriate STEM experiences.
