Charlottesville, VA

​

Charlottesville, VA is where STEAM Discovery Academy came to life. Since our first summer in 2017, STEAM has grown to a year-round science hub for the local community. We offer a variety of year round program options to fit busy schedules and provide access to STEAM Learning.  

​

STEAM is the intersection of education and entertainment - Edutainment. It is the  place that sparks new ideas and creativity. The place where resilience and confidence flourish. It’s the freedom to explore new concepts, test ideas, receive feedback, and try again with educator support. ​

​

Learn more about our programs and opportunities to experience Edutainment!
