In Ultimate STEAM Challenges, students will get creative to conquer exciting new engineering and physical challenges! Each week starts out with a mystery box of supplies and a specific mission. Working together as a team, students will brainstorm and problem-solve to design innovative, hands-on solutions. We may even bring the challenges outdoors at times to mix up the fun! All welcome! We celebrate all interests, skills, and personalities—you are a valuable and needed member of the Ultimate STEAM Team!

NCE begins immediately at the end of the school day. All students enrolled in an NCE class (including those in NEDP) will be dismissed from their classroom to the designated NCE waiting area, where they will be supervised by the NCE Onsite Coordinator until their NCE Class Instructor arrives. Students are welcome to have a nut-free snack during this time.
Pickup is promptly at 4:00pm. NEDP students will be escorted to NEDP at the end of their NCE class.
