I think what I like the most about this program is that it's lit a fire in my son's belly about science AND the teachers have the expertise to answer his ten thousand questions. Of the myriad day camps and extracurricular activities I've enrolled him in, I've never seen him this eager to go back. Reader, the kid who consistently waits until the third time I've asked him to brush his teeth is literally dressed and ready to go before I'm even out of bed in the morning now. To sum up: this is where you send your kid to nurture their curiosity and instill a love of learning.

Hands down, this is the best enrichment program for kids in Folsom. We moved here from the Bay Area for about two years so it was difficult to find a good STEAM program for our children. We are excited to have found Lab11235. Our daughter is having a blast learning from her instructors, Mrs. Danielle and Mrs. Piper. Everyday she can’t wait to see what she will do the next day at the “Lab”. So far, she taken apart a computer desktop, a few cameras, did some chemical reaction tests, and most importantly having fun while doing it. I highly recommend parents AND their kids to give Lab 11235 a visit.

It’s an amazing place for a child to be curious and learn. Not a dull moment when passionate teachers are guiding hands on experiences! Seeing my son’s eyes light up and wanting to stay and participate shows that with the right environment, a child is eager learn and want to explore sciences and technology. They make the environment a safe space where kids are learning through having fun as well as how to be confident, safe and independent! Absolutely awesome!

At Lab 11235, students are given a challenge and work together and discuss ideas and design. Then, students are guided through an interactive process of creating, testing, evaluating, and redesigning for continuous improvement. As a software engineer, this is what I do everyday and i truly appreciate how this program develops the mindset for problem solving at an early age. The lab layout is open and colorful, where kids can collaborate and get creative. I am excited to see this program come to Folsom!
