Thrilled with BrainSTEM! ? My child's experience in Sarah's afterschool program is amazing. Sarah's dedication shines through in the engaging curriculum, making STEM fun and exciting. My little one is hooked, thanks to hands-on learning. The positive impact on my child's enthusiasm for science is remarkable. If you're looking for an afterschool program that not only educates but also inspires a love for STEM, look no further. BrainSTEM is a gem!

My 8 year old daughter has been taking a class here for over a year and she absolutely loves going there. We tried a few STEM classes in other places but she chose BrainSTEM as she gets more attention from the instructor and their casual and fun approach to the subjects. I watch the class very often and it is amazing how engaging the instructors are and they are so knowledgeable and patient. I'm very happy with this place and Sarah is such an easy communicator and caring instructor with so much knowledge. I can't recommend BrainSTEM enough!

BrainSTEM Learning offers amazing programs for kids! We've hired them for birthday parties a number of times, including building rockets, which was a huge hit with the kids. And they've provided after-school STEM programs at our kids' elementary school in North Vancouver for many years. They have highly knowledgeable and engaging instructors, a huge range of program offerings, and highly specialized equipment for extended learning. The owners are amazing and care so much about the kids - such a valued business in our community!

BrainSTEM offers great birthday parties for kids. We did a rocket launching party for 12 children and it was super impressive. Kids had a blast watching their home made rockets launch into our yard.

BrainSTEM offers an excellent environment for introducing robotics, mechanics, and system dynamics and controls to children. The staff is very creative and offers many great opportunities for learning and stimulating curiosity and hands-on experimentation. The activities offer a balance between directions and self-learning in a fun and relaxed setting. The staff is patient, and really prioritizes awakening curiosity and learning. Our kids Ernest (almost 6) and Leon (4) love to go there. They enjoy the activities, but most of all exploring the many great ongoing and past projects throughout the lab. As a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at a University involved in teaching System Dynamics and Controls at the Senior level, I am impressed by the variety and the depth of the activities offered at BrainSTEM. Some of them could certainly be translated in High School and even at the Junior university level! I feel this is the kind of activity that is ideal to prepare K-12 students for science and mathematics through robotics and computer programming, and to help attract kids in Science and Engineering. What a great way to sensitize kids at an early age to science and technology! The staff is very knowledgeable, with expertise with Arduinos, 3D printing, and more! Keep up the great work!

Wonderful STEM learning environment suitable for kids 4 and above. Their summer camps have different themes ranging from aerospace engineering, civil engineering to chemical engineering, etc. Our kids enjoyed both the summer camp and workshops during school year. They loved robotics and engineering. Getting kids to know STEM at an early age is essential for them to develop interests in STEM. The staff there is very patient and accommodating with kids and parents. I highly recommend BrainSTEM.

The teacher was nice but masks are not used properly.Classes are ok but our kids - boy and girl - are not interested for joining more than 2 times.Booking system is really confused, difficult to use, and has failures. We were charged for punch card but their system did not record, which lead to a lot of trouble.

My son who is 5 has been coming to classes here for a few months now. He loves them. Oscar is a great teacher and has been very inspirational for Auby to think like an engineer/inventor.

When my daughter ended up being the only student in a class with only one male instructor present in the entire facility, I was told to refer to the behaviour policy for discriminatory behaviour because I told the main point of contact for the centre that I didn't feel comfortable leaving my child alone at the centre with only one adult and no children, but especially not with a male instructor. I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving her alone with any instructor, but felt even more unease with a male instructor. (Making such requests is perfectly acceptable in a hospital setting - you can request only female doctors if you are uncomfortable with a male doctor, so why not in a school setting involving young children?). Further, I was told to refer to the fact that I couldn't get a refund. What's more, my daughter wasn't allowed to switch to a different day of the week where there were more students present. So the expectation was that I leave my child alone with the male teacher on a day where no other children would be in attendance, and no other adults would be present. If I chose not to send her on her scheduled day, I'd not be given a refund.

Horrible people! They shouldn't be dealing with children at all. Plus they allow people to park on their sidewalk. My son was almost hit. When I complained they seriously told me they don't care. They are mean to children and I will never allow my children in their building again. I swear they are racist if your not Chinese and using their services. Horrible place and horrible people. They should be shut down.
