Explorium: Homeschool Enrichment Edition
program overview
This is a mixed-age experience where kids learn together, with intentional breakout groups throughout the day-typically ages 5-7 and 8-12, to support connection and development.
This program is created by G.E.M. Class and hosted at:
📍 Dripping Springs Sports Club
15113 Fitzhugh Road Suite 1400, Austin, TX 78736
Corner of Fitzhugh Rd & Trautwein Rd
WHAT WE DO:
Movement games (teamwork, coordination, strategy)
Logic challenges (problem-solving, critical thinking)
Real-world skills (communication, leadership, teamwork)
Guest Facilitators
Community members share their “superpowers” (ex: artists, entrepreneurs, drone pilots, strategy/game experts).
Built with Kids
Learners help shape each month’s activities, so every month is different and driven by their interests.
Special Focus
Through including ages 11-12, it will help build and shape our upcoming teen enrichment experience. GUEST INSTRUCTORS
-
Brent
A lifelong learner at heart, Brent brings a passion for growth shaped by years of studying strategy games like chess, creative writing, strength sports, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Across every discipline, the same core habits rise to the top: patience, resilience, and deliberate practice. His sessions meet students where they are while gently challenging them to think deeper, plan smarter, and stay steady when things get tough. Through logic and strategy-based games, students build focus, flexible thinking, and confidence, discovering that real growth comes from patience and intentional effort.

Sister Stitches
We’re excited to welcome Sister Stitches, two homeschooled sister entrepreneurs bringing the art of crocheting to Explorium Preview Days! For the past three years, they’ve been sharing their craft in community spaces, demonstrating how fiber arts nurture focus, calm, creativity, and meaningful connection.
