Brains & Motion Education

06/17/2026

When many parents hear "STEM," images of computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones come to mind—all the screen-based devices that already occupy so much of our kids’ time!

It’s no surprise then that summertime STEM education can come with mixed feelings, despite its necessity in our tech-driven world.

At BAM!, we bridge the gap in an unexpected way.

In our STEM Without Screens™ curriculum, campers build, test, experiment, iterate, collaborate, and solve problems with tech, minus the screens.

They learn by doing, whether they’re programming Dash Robots, learning to code with movement-based Unruly Splats, or engineering whimsical Rube Goldberg® machines with new friends.

These camp activities aren’t tech-free; they’re tech-intentional, offering screen-free experiences that balance today’s digital world with hands-on, minds-on exploration.

While we celebrate the power of computers in many of our enrichment courses, STEM Without Screens™ is designed to spark curiosity, movement, and collaboration in a uniquely unplugged way.

Summer should be full of friendship, fun, and freedom to explore new interests! 🎉

It's also a time when students can lose some of the academic momentum they worked hard to build during the school year.

The good news? Keeping kids engaged doesn't have to look like more school.

At BAM!, campers stay curious and keep their skills sharp through hands-on STEM projects, creative exploration, outdoor movement, team challenges, and active problem-solving that feels like play. The experience is everything summer should be!

After earning her degree in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior from UC Davis, she brought her background in sports medicine and youth leadership to BAM!, where she blends science, athleticism, and purpose into all her work.
