Newton’s John M. Barry Boys & Girls Club has a widening range of STEM programs for its winter season after-school program from November 29 to January 31. Offerings include Girls Who Code, Kids Who Code, LEGO Robot Workshop, STEM Engineering, STEM Dioramas and Models, STEM Movie Club, Computer Tech, and Teen Robotics (at Newton North HS). All programs require a Club membership, which costs $125 per family (or $50 per high-school student), and financial aid is available to ensure that no one is turned away due to ability to pay.

The Club has recently acquired an amazing Lulzbot TAZ Workhorse 3D Printer donated by the Division of Clinical Informatics at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, led by Dr. Yuri Quintana. Thanks also to Nicolas Quintana for disassembling the printer and preparing it for transport to the Club, and to Kevin Osborn for installing the printer at the Club. Kevin will also be training Club staff in its use.
