What is Steamoji?

Technology, AI and global connectivity are reshaping the way we live and work. The next generation will face challenges we can’t yet imagine. Alongside new skills, they’ll need adaptability, creativity and resilience to lead the way.

Steamoji is the maker academy for kids ages 6-14 that equips children with the hands-on STEM skills and a maker mindsets to solve real-world problems.

Ray Zhang

Hi, I’m Ray! I believe some of the best learning happens when children have an idea, roll up their sleeves, and give it a try.

That’s what drew me to Steamoji: to help young makers develop the skills and confidence to solve problems for themselves. A project might start with building or coding, but the lessons go further: thinking creatively, adapting when something doesn’t work, and finding the determination to try again.

As Academy Director at Steamoji Kitsilano, I want every child to feel that their ideas are worth exploring. Working alongside our facilitators and families, I’m excited to help them turn curiosity into something they can build and feel proud of.

Dec 21 - Dec 23 | 09:00 AM - 03:00 PM

Availability9 spots leftSuggested Age8+

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: Coding, 3D Design & Printing, Electrical Circuits, Microcontrollers, Applied Design Process

Carnival of Creativity: Digital Storytelling and Fabrication

Carnival of Creativity: Digital Storytelling and Fabrication

Dec 21 - Dec 23 | 09:00 AM - 03:00 PM

Availability5 spots leftSuggested Age5+

Start with an idea, awaken it on the screen, and then bring it to life right in front of you. Digital storytelling meets fabrication in this camp, which taps into kids’ creativity across the entire STEAM spectrum.

From sports to entertainment, apprentices will start each day with a new theme and follow their imaginations through a series of activities. They’ll use digital art skills and coding to create characters and stories in Scratch Jr., a visual programming language that gives kids their first taste of coding. From there, they’ll bring these characters into the real-world using principles of fabrication.

Building mini games to designing graphics – it’s all about sparking ideas and using STEAM principles to tell stories. Come and find the exciting worlds that are waiting to be discovered in your imagination!

Skills: Storytelling, Coding, Digital Arts, Fabrication

Loops! Jumps! Hair-pin bends! What's the most exciting roller coaster you can imagine? Now come and come build it. In this camp, apprentices join a team of like-minded engineers to dream up, design and construct a twisty downhill run. They'll turn cardboard, paper, straws and other household materials into a roller coaster... for marbles!

Apprentices will learn every step of the design process as they research, prototype, test and assemble their marble run. By the end of the week they'll have built a fascinating, gravity-defying structure, that combines creativity with their new engineering skills. Let's Get Building!

Skills: Research, Construction, Math, Design, Analysis, Team-work

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!

Skills: Building, Testing, Simple Structures, Levers, Mechanical Advantage, Applied Design Process, Team-work
