STEM Events at Foxcroft School

Stimulating opportunities for hands-on learning — for all ages!

Engaging the Community

Foxcroft's STEM program is tailored to our student's interests and learning styles. But did you know we also host events open to the community? Whether solving the mystery of who stole Suzie Foxcroft's identity at The STEM Challenge or learning computer programming in an innovative, hands-on way, eager participants have benefited from the expertise within our STEM Department and the partnerships we have formed with outside organizations.

“My favorite part about the STEM Challenge is seeing girls problem solve using science and technology that they have not seen before.”

  • Computer Programming & Coding Event

    Hosted by Foxcroft's STEM and Admission Departments, our fall computer coding event is an opportunity for middle school girls in the area to get a hands-on lesson in computer programming. With knowledgable STEM faculty leading the workshop and Foxcroft's own students offering help along the way, girls will learn the ins and outs of computers and computer programming. Learning a new skill on the computer has never been more fun!
