Hi Innovator Community!


By now, I hope everyone has recovered from the back-to-school rush and is settling into their new routine. We're excited to share some fantastic updates happening at The Future Innovators Academy (FIA)!


We've expanded our course offerings with new classes in Robotics, Coding, Game Design, and Digital Arts. Plus, our Kids Night Out events—featuring STEM, pizza, and a movie—are back by popular demand!


We’re also introducing a brand-new Make & Take workshop, where participants get to build, code, and take home their very own electronic device or robot.


And last but not least, we're thrilled to announce the formation of our FIRST Tech Challenge competition robotics team, Spark Squad! We look forward to sharing more about the team's endeavors as the season progresses.


With the kids back in school and fall in full swing, it's the perfect time to enroll in our Fall Courses. Come join us—space is limited, so sign up today!


Stay innovative,

The FIA Team
