Why choose us

Why choose Up to Ten for science workshops

Up to Ten's STEM Kids Academy labs are for kids aged 7 to 12 in Milan. One Saturday a month, 2 hands-on hours in small groups (max 10): experiments, robotics, coding, engineering. Each lab is self-contained — you can come once or join the full annual cycle. €35 per lab, materials and what they build to take home included.

You learn with your hands, not your ears

Kids touch, build, get it wrong, try again. Curiosity becomes lasting understanding only inside experience, not in front of a page.

Small groups, real experiments

Max 10 kids, educators trained to accompany discovery (not impose it), materials that are safe but authentic. A fake experiment is spotted immediately.

"I'm not good at it"? Give it a chance

The lab isn't trying to turn everyone into a scientist. It's trying to remove the idea that science is "for the smart ones" — and give kids the chance to discover that for themselves.

Who it's for

Who it's for STEM Kids Academy

Curious kids (7-12 years)

Those who ask endless 'why' questions and want to understand how the world works.

Aspiring inventors

Those who love building, taking things apart, experimenting. Who see a toy and want to know what's inside.

Those 'not good at' science

Those who think they're not good at science. Our labs prove every child has their own scientific talent.

Why choose us

Why choose Up to Ten STEM Kids Academy

100% hands-on

No lectures: you learn by doing. Kids touch, build, take things apart and put them back together — real experiments, materials to handle, prototypes to assemble with their own hands. Because a concept you experience sticks, while one you only hear gets forgotten.

Small groups (max 10)

Every child gets individual attention. No one falls behind, no one gets bored.

Specialized tutors

Our educators are trained to teach young learners with patience, enthusiasm, and creativity.

Take-home creations

Every lab produces something concrete that the child proudly takes home.

The Up to Ten Method

The Up to Ten method in STEM Kids Academy

We come from science teaching, and in our workshops for younger children we apply the same principles: experience first, explanation second. Here's what makes our approach recognisable.

Personalized discovery style

Every child has their own way of exploring the world. Some need to take everything apart, some prefer to sketch their hypotheses, some learn best in a group. Our educators identify each child's learning style and adapt the workshops accordingly.

From play to science

A volcano is not just a chemical reaction: it is the mountain that erupts, it is the baking soda that bubbles in grandma's cake, it is the principle that governs geysers. We always start from play and wonder to reach scientific understanding.

Overcoming 'I'm not a science person'

We pay special attention to children who believe they are 'not cut out' for science. With patience and creativity, we show that every child has a scientific talent waiting to be uncovered.

Modular: come once or all year

Each lab is complete in itself — one theme, one experiment, one result — and can be attended as a one-off. But the labs are also pieces of a yearly path (September–May) that grows with the kids, each one independent yet in dialogue with the previous. No commitment, no compulsory annual enrolment.

Piano su misura per ammissione Politecnico Milano

Consiglio Up to Ten perché offre un supporto rapido, personalizzato ed efficace anche in situazioni con poco tempo a disposizione. Nel mio caso sono riusciti a costruire un piano di studio su misura per l’esame di ammissione al Politecnico di Milano e, grazie al mio tutor Andrea, ho potuto migliorare il mio punteggio fino a raggiungere l’ammissione. Consiglio Up to Ten perché unisce organizzazione, disponibilità e un supporto davvero efficace.

Da 2 a 8,5 in matematica

Competenza, serietà e capacità di motivare i ragazzi. Mio figlio, IV scientifico sportivo, è passato da un 2 del primo quadrimestre all' 8,5 dell' ultima verifica. Ci fossero state più stelle avrei dato il massimo. Grazie

Recuperate lacune in materie scientifiche e latino

Up to ten mi era stato suggerito da un’amica e a mia volta, dopo averlo provato, l’ho suggerito ad altri genitori i cui figli avevano necessità di recuperare lacune in materie scientifiche, ma anche in latino. E’ diventato un punto di riferimento per noi. Anna, la titolare, è eccezionale come insegnante, disponibilità e professionalità, così come i tutor che seleziona e che seguono i ragazzi.

Matematica compresa in quinta liceo

Faccio lezione con Andrea da 1 anno, sono in quinta liceo: è molto bravo, è riuscito a farmi capire la matematica e soprattutto a spronarmi quando avevo poca voglia o convinzione. Consiglio lui e Uptoten a chiunque voglia migliorare a scuola.

Test ammissione Economia Cattolica superato in 2 mesi

Sono stati veramente bravissimi, in meno di 2 mesi hanno permesso a mia figlia di superare il test di ammissione ad Economia dell Università Cattolica partendo da delle conoscenze matematiche molto scarse. Tra le altre cose sono anche molto professionali ed hanno una bellissima app che permette di monitorare l andamento delle lezioni. Super consigliati

Ammissione Bocconi International Economics and Finance superata

Con mio figlio abbiamo scelto Up To Ten per preparare l’esame di ammissione in "International Economics and Finance" per la laurea triennale in Bocconi alla fine della quarta superiore e l’esame è stato superato con successo. In particolare, desidero ringraziare Andrea e Anna, che lo hanno seguito con grande competenza, pazienza e professionalità. Non solo hanno colmato in modo efficace le lacune che aveva, ma sono riusciti a individuare gli errori nel suo metodo di studio e a guidarlo verso un approccio più efficace e consapevole. Ciò che abbiamo apprezzato di più è che il lavoro fatto non si è limitato alla preparazione dell’esame, ma ha contribuito a un miglioramento reale e duraturo nel suo modo di studiare. Consiglio Up To Ten a chi cerca un supporto personalizzato, capace di valorizzare gli studenti e di accompagnarli verso i loro obiettivi con metodo e attenzione.

Projects that every child proudly takes home

For those who want to go further: beyond the labs there are more structured paths — dedicated projects for kids who show particular curiosity for engineering, preparation for the junior maths Olympiads, advanced robotics. Curiosity stays the same starting point; each family chooses how far to push.

After the course

Come once, come all year

Eight workshops spread from September to May cover engineering, chemistry, physics, robotics, biology, energy, applied maths and scientific investigation. Each one is self-contained: you start with no prerequisites and leave with a creation and a piece of science understood. Each one is part of a path: those who take part all year build a cross-cutting view of the STEM disciplines.

For those aiming for excellence, we offer enrichment paths: special projects for young engineers, junior math olympiad preparation, advanced robotics workshops. For beginners, every workshop is designed to welcome children with no prior knowledge. The wonder of discovery is the same, whether it is the first experiment or the hundredth.
