The Sylvan Learning Center of Murfreesboro — who already offers a variety of programs including reading, math and study skills — is excited to announce their new STEM classes coming in April. “Children are fascinated with technology,” says Center Director Dr. Teresa Flores. “We discovered this when we started teaching our core programs on the iPad. STEM programs are the next great wave for the future. We’re happy to provide these programs, such as Robotics and Coding, that will get kids excited about science and technology.”
