After-school STEAM Programs for Elementary Schools

Structured, hands-on STEAM programs led by trained educators designed to extend classroom learning in a manageable after-school format.

What these programs are

A high-quality extension of in-school STEAM learning.

Splatter Learning’s after-school STEAM programs provide students with additional time to explore engineering, robotics, science, and design through hands-on projects. Programs are intentionally structured to ensure instructional quality, predictable scheduling, and ease of implementation for schools.

After-school classes work especially well as a follow-up to our in-school STEAM instruction, giving interested students the opportunity to go deeper while maintaining consistency in teaching approach and expectations.

PROGRAM STRUCTURE

How our after-school programs are structured

  • 45-minute instructional sessions

  • 20 students maximum per class to maintain quality and engagement

  • Trained educators experienced with elementary learners

  • Hands-on, project-based lessons that build over time

  • All materials and technology provided

Programs are designed to run on a consistent weekly schedule and can be adapted to fit your school’s calendar.

WHO THESE PROGRAMS ARE FOR

Who benefits most from after-school STEAM

Our after-school programs are a strong fit for:

  • Schools looking to extend STEAM opportunities beyond the school day

  • PTAs seeking high-quality enrichment with clear structure

  • Campuses that want small-group learning with defined class sizes

  • Families interested in deeper exploration of STEAM topics

These programs are intentionally capped and structured to prioritize learning outcomes over volume.

PROGRAM LENGTH & FORMAT

After-school STEAM programs are typically offered as multi-week sessions meeting once per week. This format allows students to build skills, revisit concepts, and complete more complex projects over time.

Programs may be offered as:

  • School-funded enrichment

  • Parent-paid after-school programs coordinated through the school or PTA

Details are customized based on your school’s goals and scheduling needs.

HOW AFTER-SCHOOL FITS INTO THE BIGGER PICTURE

Part of a complete STEAM strategy

Many schools use after-school STEAM programs to:

  • Extend learning from in-school STEAM instruction

  • Offer additional opportunities for interested students

  • Pilot new STEAM topics before expanding school-wide

Because our in-school and after-school programs are aligned, schools benefit from a consistent instructional approach across settings.
