Future-ready skills
Kids master the critical thinking, creativity, and resilience they’ll need to solve tomorrow’s problems, building confidence with every challenge.
Progress is Celebrated
Kids earn OJI coins as they level up through their journey, while parents see progress in real-time through the Parent App.
DIRECTOR OF Kerrisdale
Gregg Sayer
Meet Gregg "Gmoji" Sayer, our enthusiastic Academy Director at Steamoji Kerrisdale. Gregg is married with three children and is a former sports tech entrepreneur, a former PAC president/chair, a former digital marketing strategist, a UBC Sauder alum and a prolific - and we mean prolific - Dad Joke dispenser. Ask him about his Great-Uncle, Trevor Wadley, a bonafide genius / Master Maker.
“At Steamoji Kerrisdale, families can count on my commitment that they will always find an academy that is welcoming and full of wonder, fun, flow and laughter. As a father of three children, I am 100% on board with Steamoji’s compelling vision to train the next generation of builders, makers, inventors and entrepreneurs. If I could magically blanket the world with future-facing STEM skills and a growth mindset, I would, but I’m going to first start with 1,700 square feet and a community of bright apprentices right in the heart of beautiful Kerrisdale.”

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!

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!

Introducing our first Steamoji x CircuitMess STEM camp...
Meet Spencer - your new talkative buddy that lights up when it sees you, answers your questions and even has a joke ready when you want a laugh!
Kids will learn everything they need to know to turn a pile of parts into their very own customized voice assistant that they'll take home at the end of the week:
- Learn building skills such as soldering and parts assembly
- Code your voice assistant using Python
- Find out about the “internet of things”
- Fabricate your own 3D printed parts to personalize your new pal
- Solve problems and share ideas with other makers
Let’s Get Building!
Please note - this camp is for kids ages 10 and up. Camp price includes a take-home “Spencer” kit (retail value of $160).
