STEAM Enrichment for Homeschoolers

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s more important than ever for children to engage in hands-on, meaningful learning experiences, especially in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics). For homeschooling families, finding innovative and interactive ways to bring these subjects to life can be a challenge. That’s why we are creating a solution!
At After the Peanut, we understand the unique needs of homeschoolers and are committed to providing engaging, hands-on STEAM experiences that spark curiosity and foster creativity. Our programs will be designed to inspire young minds by blending fun with learning, giving students the chance to explore, experiment, and build confidence in their problem-solving skills. Whether it’s building their own inventions, conducting exciting science experiments, or diving into the world of art and engineering, we make STEAM accessible and enjoyable for every learner.
We will begin our STEAM Club for Homeschoolers in January of 2025. Be a part of the development by completing the survey found here.

Summer STEAM Camp

Medical Detective Camp by After the Peanut Foundation (ATPF) is an immersive, career-connected experience where curiosity meets real-world discovery. Held on a college campus, this dynamic camp gives students the opportunity to step into the role of a medical detective, working collaboratively to solve a mock crime using scientific reasoning, forensic techniques, and critical thinking.

Each day includes hands-on investigations and daily field trips, connecting students directly with professionals across law enforcement, the legal system, healthcare, and medical fields. Participants will explore how science is used to uncover evidence, understand human health, and support justice — all while building confidence and awareness of future career pathways.

Students will engage in authentic problem-solving scenarios, meet experts, and experience what it feels like to apply classroom learning to meaningful, real-life challenges. This is more than a camp — it is a launchpad for future scientists, doctors, investigators, and innovators.

Space is intentionally limited to just 15 students per week to ensure personalized attention and a high-quality experience. Spots will fill quickly.
