Rick's Bricks

Make some time to build, explore, and discover together in the exciting world of STEM—with NO STRESS! 

This engaging program takes place at Rick’s Place on select Saturdays, offering hands-on STEM activities led by STEMspire. Designed for ages 5 to 12 (younger participants may need additional support), each session invites children and their families to dive into creative challenges that involve building, problem-solving, and experimenting together. 

Each one-hour session includes a mix of open exploration, guided instruction, and hands-on building activities, followed by a fun group game or interactive wrap-up. Activities are designed to keep participants engaged, thinking, and creating—while having a great time together. 

This program is completely free for service members and their families, but spots are limited—registration is required in advance. 

Things to Know Before You Go: 

1 Families are encouraged to participate together - parents and caregivers should plan to stay and engage alongside their child throughout the session. 

2 Activities are hands-on and process-based; participants will build and experiment during the session rather than take projects home. 

3 Wear comfortable clothing that allows for movement and active participation.

4 Proof of Military Affiliation (such as a Military ID) is required at check-in.

5 Each child participant must be registered individually.
