Bricks 4 Kidz® Hoboken provides S.T.E.M. enrichment education. Professionals active within their respective science fields (engineering, architecture, physics, and robotics) have created our programs. The programs are designed to promote early exposure to S.T.E.M. topics in a manner that is both educational and fun.
