The Emerson Parent Night Out @ Future Innovators Academy is a fun, safe, and memorable evening designed for Emerson families to enjoy a night off—while students enjoy an action-packed STEM experience at FIA.

 

Students ages 4–14 (siblings welcome) rotate through a variety of hands-on, high-energy STEM stations, designed to engage a wide range of ages and interests. The evening blends creative exploration, structured play, and a calm wind-down to ensure students leave happy, tired, and excited to come back. This is not babysitting—it’s a thoughtfully planned, educator-led experience built for curious minds.
