Snapshots of our students in action — robotics competitions, FIRST LEGO League, science showcases, and team adventures.
Hands-on building across six STEAM areas — plus well-being and optional competition prep.
Every session is project-driven. Students build robots, code games and apps, engineer and 3D-print designs, create art, and grow as leaders and communicators — then learn to slow down and focus.
Work spans six areas: Robotics, Programming, Engineering, Design & Creativity, Leadership & Communication, and Competition Prep (TSA and Science Olympiad, where students pick their own event). Browse the full catalog in Activity Topics below.
Woven throughout: a Sudarshan Kriya (SKY) Youth Program for focus and well-being.
Great learning, real well-being, and a give-back to the community.
Kids learn STEAM best from people only a few years ahead of them. We put students in front of the room and experienced adults beside them, so curiosity stays high and support stays close.
Technical skill isn't enough on its own. We pair building and competing with well-being — focus, breathing, and life skills — so students leave more capable and calmer.
And it's a give-back: the students teaching here are raising funds for local schools and non-profit causes, so every registration sends help back into the community.
You choose where a portion of the proceeds goes.
A portion of every registration (after expenses) is donated to local schools and educational non-profit causes — and you decide where it goes.
During registration, name the school or educational cause you'd like your child's contribution directed toward. The students teaching here are raising those funds, so learning and giving happen in the same summer.

Testimonials from Yogic Transformers parents about their experience.
Sarath is an exceptional coach and mentor for robotics and STEM programs. I highly recommend the Yogic Transformers program to parents who want to give their children meaningful STEM exposure and hands-on learning experiences. The skills, confidence, and problem-solving mindset students develop through this program become a strong foundation that they carry into high school, college, and beyond.
My daughter, Avni, was a member of the Yogic Transformers team during her 4th and 5th grade years, with Sarath as the coach and Yug as the mentor. Over those two years, she learned tremendously and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Sarath and Yug created a fun, supportive environment that encouraged creativity, innovation, teamwork, and thoughtful risk-taking. They empowered students to explore new ideas, learn from challenges, and build confidence in their abilities, making a lasting impact on Avni’s growth and love for STEM.
