As the long summer days give way to cooler mornings and the return of school routines, many parents—especially moms—are asking the same question: What’s next for my kids after school and on weekends?
After a summer packed with camps, playdates, and family adventures, fall can sometimes feel like a slower season. But for families across North Texas, it’s actually a perfect opportunity to nurture curiosity, explore new passions, and build confidence through hands-on learning. That’s where Bricks Bots & Beakers comes in.
This summer, Bricks Bots & Beakers hosted 50 exciting camps across North Texas, welcoming children into a world of creativity, imagination, and discovery. Kids designed skyscrapers in ArKIDtecture, built habitats in Zany Zoology, and launched rockets that made them feel like real engineers.
Parents witnessed something incredible—friendships blossoming over LEGO towers, shy kids finding their voice in improv games, and confidence growing with each robot battle. The lessons weren’t just about science or art—they were about teamwork, problem-solving, and resilience.
Now, as fall begins, Bricks Bots & Beakers is ready to inspire families once again with programs designed for every age, stage, and learning style.
Why Moms Love STEAM Programs in the Fall
For many parents, fall can feel like a juggling act—school pickup lines, homework, sports practices, and family dinners. Yet moms also want to make sure their kids are not only busy, but engaged in meaningful learning.
That’s what makes STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) programs so valuable. They:
- Encourage creativity while reinforcing real-world skills.
- Balance screen time with hands-on exploration.
- Promote teamwork and collaboration.
- Boost confidence in problem-solving.
Instead of adding “one more thing” to the calendar, STEAM programs like those at Bricks Bots & Beakers offer enrichment that complements school and supports long-term growth.

In this class, kids won’t just build—they’ll design, drive, and battle their own safe, plastic combat robots. Through fun competitions, students learn:
- Engineering and building fundamentals

- Teamwork, strategy, and resilience when things don’t go as planned
For parents, this is a dream opportunity: your child can step into the world of robotics without the steep learning curve or safety concerns. For kids, it’s engineering disguised as pure fun.
