DIRECTOR OF Kitsilano
Maria Pabon
Hi Steamoji families! My name is Maria, and I’m thrilled to be joining the team as your new Academy Director. I’m originally from Colombia and moved to Canada to complete my MBA here in British Columbia. I’ve always loved working with kids and seeing how curious and creative they can be. I’m passionate about creating a fun, supportive environment where they can explore, build, and grow their confidence through hands-on learning.
I’d describe my management style as collaborative, calm, and encouraging—I believe in creating strong relationships and helping everyone feel supported. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, going to the gym, and watching sports. I’m really looking forward to meeting you all and being part of your kids’ STEAM journey!

It’s time for bright ideas! In this camp, Apprentices will work with key STEAM skills to create their own RGB lamp. Using a combination of coding, 3D modeling, 3D printing, and circuit-building, they’ll plan, design, and build a creation straight out of their imagination. During this camp, they’ll take their builds all the way from a pen-and-paper concept to a fully functional light feature, which they can proudly bring home at the end of the week. Let’s get building!

Skills
Incoming! In this camp, Apprentices will become engineers as they work in teams to build the strongest catapult and tallest tower that they can. To conquer the challenge, they'll learn about levers and mechanical advantage, building techniques and balance. As well as becoming masterful engineers, they’ll tap into their creative side and make colorful birds and mascots to launch from the catapult. On the last day, teams will face off to try and knock down their opponents' towers before their tower is tumbled, too!
