The revamped centre will feature 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 refurbished Drift Track and more.
Arena STEM will also offer dedicated classrooms with a rich curriculum to challenge any inquisitive mind, as well as a large party room for birthday celebrations and private events with space for up to 100 people. The company’s retail offering includes a wide range of smart toys, building sets and hobby models, including those with artificial intelligence and machine learning.
The new Pre-K Learning Zone is designed for Arena’s youngest customers STEM aged 2-6 years. Children can acquire their first programming skills while playing with our smart toys without a screen, preparing them for later learning of block-based programming with Scratch and interactive programming in Python.
For school-age clients, Arena STEM will expand the range of STEM courses and workshops, including after-school and holiday programmes in science and technology. We also plan to offer workshops in basic financial literacy and other valuable life skills. The new centre will make it possible to better organise school field trips and summer camp programmes.
“Arena STEM is a fun destination that utilizes STEM principles and fosters critical thinking and innovation.” said Mr Manevich. “We have created a unique environment where the entire family can spend a day, while parents and kids can learn and have fun together.”
The new 20,000 s.f. Arena STEM Center is located on the upper level of the mall, across the Entrance B.
