With a prime emphasis on science and technology, CEO of Arena STEM, Sergei Manevich, announced that the company has opened a new STEM Education, Entertainment and Retail Center at Westfield Garden State Plaza in Paramus, New Jersey.
The newly redesigned center will offer more attractions, including a new Virtual Reality pavilion, a state-of-the-art DJI RoboMaster Battlefield, an expanded Drone Field, a larger Aqua Zone, a renovated on-road Drift Track and more.
“Arena STEM is a fun destination that utilizes STEM principles and fosters critical thinking and innovation,” Manevich said. “We have created a unique environment where the entire family can spend a day, while parents and kids can learn and have fun together.”
Arena STEM will also offer dedicated classrooms with a curriculum to challenge curious minds, and a large party room for birthday parties and private events accommodating up to 100 people. The company’s retail selection includes a wide range of smart toys, construction sets and hobby-grade models, including those with artificial intelligence and machine learning.
A new Pre-K Learning Zone is dedicated to Arena STEM’s youngest customers, ages two through six. Children can acquire initial coding/programming skills while playing with screen-free smart toys, preparing them for future learning block-based programming using Scratch and interactive programming in Python.
For school-age customers, Arena STEM will expand the selection of STEM classes and workshops, including afterschool enrichment and vacation programs in science and technology. The company also plans to add workshops in Basic Financial Literacy and other valuable life skills. The new center will allow to better accommodate School Trips and Summer Camp programs.
