Chicago Winter Break STEM Camps

There’s a chill in the air. Jack Frost has relocated to Chicago and will soon be nipping at our noses. That means winter break is just around the corner. While a change from the everyday routine can be nice, it’s still important to keep kids active and busy. We’ve partnered with several of Chicago’s leading STEM education providers to bring you a directory of science and technology-themed winter break camps that will keep your kids engaged and happy while teaching them cutting-edge skills, like coding (computer programming), 3D modeling, and real-world construction!
