Kids’ restaurant Chuck E. Cheese has teamed up with STEM.org Educational Research (SER) to bring STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) programming to kids ages 3-8. Reservations open in January; programming begins in March.
Two programs are available to kids: One is geared to kids ages 3-5 and another is aimed at kids 6-8. Programming is planned based on developmental stages. “STEAM-tastic Adventure” combines STEAM elements with Chuck E. Cheese’s well-known hands-on play environment. Established restaurant characters will be joined by a STEAM influencer for the immersive experience. Programming will be in over 450 Chuck E. Cheese restaurants.
We are proud to introduce a nationwide ‘Edutainment’ program in partnership with STEM.ORG, the leader in accredited STEM and STEAM-led programs. For educators and parents, there is now a curriculum that combines the excitement and joy that kids love. It’s the perfect blend of play and education.”

As part of its National STEM Day announcement, Chuck E. Cheese is offering a free, paper plane, STEAM activity for all kids at Chuck E. Cheese Fun Centers. The activity is also available online.
