Technology has quickly entered the lives of our children at an accelerated pace. It frequently leaves us wondering at how they use it to attain different objectives that range from simple entertainment to fast paced educational alternatives.
Fewer and fewer young people realize that computers are tools with a much brighter future than Instant Messaging, Video Gaming and Text Processing; and that robots do not resemble a human like metal figure but are present in many instances of our daily lives. We often find our children absorbed in a world where the tool becomes the purpose. The goal for our students is to develop important social skills, the need to act based on logical decisions, and the discipline of moving forward step by step.
Now, compare the number of engineering-like enrichment activities available for children in lower and middle school to the number of extra-curricular activities offered in sports, music, theater, ecology, dance, and other programs. We are convinced that our daughters and sons will decide their future based on the opportunities provided at their schools.
It doesnt come as a surprise to know that America being on top of the industrial world is recruiting from overseas more than a hundred thousand engineers a year in order to compensate for the lack of engineering graduates from the colleges in the United States.
At Bright & Smart, we believe that we can help children have fun learning the basics of engineering. We do not offer computer classes; we have a complete engineering experience, which combines robot building with computer programming and teamwork. This will prepare them for a not so distant future where they can be in a very rewarding profession.
Succesful engineers are based on skills and discovery.
Newton had an apple, Einstein an elevator, but most of us found science and engineering thanks to an encouraging teacher, or a smart friend. We had the power, we just needed the chance.
At Bright & Smart we want to offer children that chance and the opportunity to discover and develop their natural skills.

Many kids and parents have learned about Bright & Smart through our summer camps.
We combine the same engineering skills with spatial activities to be able to offer a week packed with acknowledge, fun and entertainment, during our daily classes held from 9am to 3pm.
Each week offers the opportunity to advance to a new level. Children can participate in one week, two weeks, or if their summer schedule allows them to complete the experience, they can participate in all the 4 weeks that we offer each summer.
