Whether you’re searching for after school programs in Austin or want a space where your child can thrive in art and STEAM, our enrichment program is designed to inspire kids through process art, tinkering, and creative play.
After School Enrichment Program (Ages 5-14)
Figment’s After School Enrichment Program gives children ages 5–14 opportunities to explore art, STEAM, and maker-based learning every afternoon. Through process art, ceramics, design projects, and play-based activities, kids strengthen both creativity and problem-solving skills.
Each day begins with a snack and outdoor play before transitioning into a wide range of creative activities. We recommend sending a peanut-free snack, though we also provide extras when needed.
