Afterschool Programs
Bay Ridge Locations
Urban STEAM Lab offers afterschool pick-up and care for Kindergarten through 5th grade for two of Bay Ridge’s local schools: PS102 & PS185. Students are picked up promptly at dismissal from their schools and head directly to Urban STEAM Lab for hands-on learning, inquiry, connections, and fun. The STEAM theme changes weekly and will include topics such as oceanic science, Newton’s Laws of motion, maker challenges, light and sound, map skills, and so much more.
