Our Mission:
The STEAM Studio is a nonprofit corporation whose mission is to promote a sense of constant curiosity through project-based learning in science, technology, & engineering. We promote skills in creative problem solving, logical thinking, mental flexibility, and collaboration.
About Us:
We offer completely unique camps in science, tech, engineering, coding, 3d printing, circuitry, robotics, and more. The STEAM Studio is a family business created in 2016 by Sarah Ezolt. Sarah has a bachelors degree in Sociology from Baldwin Wallace University and a masters degree in Community Psychology from the University of Massachusetts. She has been teaching and coaching Odyssey of the Mind for 12+ years. Our co-teacher is Nicolai Ezolt. Nicolai is a high school student who competes in math/science competitions and Odyssey of the Mind. He plans to become a high school math teacher. Sarah and Nicolai teach all STEAM Studio camps. They are both trained in first aid and CPR. Sarah has full clearances (the same required to work in schools). If your child has any special needs, anxiety issues, allergies, or any other concerns, please speak with us. We are happy to encourage, support, and accomodate every child as much as possible.

This camp is all hands on and YOU are the director, writer, artist, and actor! You can choose to make your own film or work with a group. We'll begin with writing a quick plot, then storyboard your idea. Then you'll move on to designing art and filming scenes. After a quick edit, your film is complete! We teach the learning concepts of stop motion photography, green screen /chroma-keying, scriptwriting, acting, and digital editing.
