Summer 2026 registration opens January 9th!

Make this summer unforgettable with Design at Advent, The Advent School’s dynamic series of STEM programs for children ages 5–12. Each two-week session invites young learners to dive into hands-on engineering and design thinking while discovering the excitement of STEM in the world around them. Across three immersive themes—Animal Advocates, Color & Illusion, and Make It Miniature—kids build, experiment, and create as they develop problem-solving skills and confidence.

A hallmark of Design at Advent is its engaging field trips throughout Boston. Kids will venture beyond the classroom to explore museums, science centers, local parks, and innovative community spaces, connecting what they learn to real environments and real challenges. These excursions give kids the chance to meet scientists, designers, artists, and other experts who share their work and inspire students with firsthand insights into STEM careers.

Situated just steps from the Charles MGH station, Design at Advent blends urban exploration with meaningful, age-appropriate learning. Whether they are engineering miniature worlds, investigating the science of color, or designing solutions to support animals and their habitats, kids experience the joy of discovery in a supportive, creative community. Each day brings new opportunities to imagine, experiment, and innovate—making summer both enriching and adventurous.
