Fuel Your Child’s Passion for STEM

Year-round, hands-on learning for students in grades K-8

Welcome to the Talcott Mountain Science Center & Academy, where students in grades K-8 embark on a thrilling journey of discovery and learning! Let us nurture your child’s passion for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through hands-on learning in one or more of the following programs:

Talcott Mountain Academy — Where K-8 gifted and talented students thrive in a fun, challenging and supportive environment. With a full curriculum, differentiated instruction, and passionate teaching staff, students learn to ask questions, find answers, and unlock their full potential.

STEM Programs at Talcott Mountain — Encourage learning year-round with Talcott’s Summer of STEM Adventures, and Saturday & School Vacation programs for students in grades K-8. Talcott’s carefully crafted programs spark your child’s innate sense of curiosity with hands-on experiments and creative learning inspired by science and our mountaintop campus. As a result, they’re fully engaged in the learning process which helps them develop their teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.

🎉 Congratulations to Talcott alum Dr. Eric R. Fossum – National Medal of Technology and Innovation Recipient! 🎉

Dr. Fossum's groundbreaking work in inventing camera-on-a-chip technology has revolutionized the way we capture images, turning billions of phones into powerful cameras and transforming everyday life in the process. His innovation is now an integral part of many industries, from healthcare and business to entertainment and security. 🌍📱

Dr. Fossum received this prestigious honor on January 3, 2025, directly from President Biden via OSTP Director Dr. Arati Prabhakar at a ceremony at the White House. It’s an amazing and humbling recognition of his lifelong dedication to innovation and his contributions to science and technology. 🤩

When NASA needed a smaller, more efficient camera for space exploration, Dr. Fossum’s groundbreaking image sensor technology was the solution. Since then, he's continued to push the boundaries of what's possible, and now mentors countless young entrepreneurs, inspiring the next generation of innovators. 🚀💡

We are so proud to call Eric a Talcott Mountain Science Center alum, and his achievements remind us all that Talcott alumni change the world. 🌟
