Steps 2 the Moon summer program

Steps 2 the Moon summer program is located on the campus of North Carolina Central University, Durham, NC.  We are dedicated to empowering children to shape the future through hands-on exploration and discovery through the doors of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Physics (S.T.E.P.). 
 
Our learning spaces are divided into three groups: Rocketeers (6-8 years old), Space Cadets (9-11 years old), and Moonwalkers (12-14 years old).  Additionally, our goal is to make the program as convenient as possible for parents; which is why we offer flexible drop-off and dismissal times. Children can be dropped off as early as 7:30 am, with breakfast and lunch available. The day concludes at 4:30 pm , with dismissal and pick-up times between 5:00 and 5:30 pm.
 
Join us at Steps 2 the Moon and embark on an unforgettable adventure of learning, discovery, growth, and fun. Together, let’s inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, professors; and innovators to reach new heights and soar among the stars.
