As of Oct 28, 2026, Enrollercoaster tracks 70 enrichment and STEM programs for teens across NYC, from 7 providers including NYC Parks, Dodge YMCA, and Castle Hill YMCA. 34 are open for registration right now, and the rest are closed or not yet reporting a status. 8 programs are listed as free. 20% of the programs with a published schedule meet on a Saturday or Sunday; the rest are weekday-only.
Prices. Across the 3 programs that publish a price, the typical (median) listed price is $160; most fall between $98 and $160, with a full range of $35 to $160. Providers list prices differently — a single class, a month, or a full term — so compare the registration pages, not just the number.
Ages. Every program here accepts at least part of the teens range (ages 12–17); the list leads with the classes built for this age and finishes with those that only touch it at the edge.
Where the open spots are. By neighborhood, the most enrichment and STEM programs for teens with open registration today are in Washington Heights (5 open), New Springville (4 open), Highbridge (4 open), Bedford-Stuyvesant (3 open), and Carroll Gardens (3 open). Neighborhood counts change daily as providers open and close sessions.
Enrichment and STEM classes in NYC cover coding, robotics, science labs, engineering with LEGO, math, cooking and languages, most of them for school-age children and a smaller set for preschoolers. Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes, run as a weekly term or a school-break camp, and are hands-on: building, experimenting or making something each session. Class sizes are small, materials and laptops are usually provided, and many programs sort children by grade rather than age. A trial class or a single-week camp is the easiest way to test a subject before committing to a full term. Teen programs (12 to 17) are fewer than for younger kids but more serious: competitive teams, advanced-level classes, pre-professional tracks and fitness programs. Many run by tryout or placement rather than open enrollment, and several of the providers listed here also take teens into their adult beginner classes, which is worth asking about when a teen class is full.
34 of the 70 enrichment and STEM programs for teens we track across NYC are open for registration as of Oct 28, 2026. Status is read from each provider's own registration system every morning.
The typical listed price is $160, and most of the 3 priced programs fall between $98 and $160. Prices are as published by each provider and may cover one session, a month or a full term. 8 programs are free.
Usually yes, if the child's age falls inside the range the provider publishes. On this page the classes built specifically for ages 12–17 are listed first; those that only overlap the edge of the range come last, so check the age chip on each card.
Today the most open enrichment and STEM programs for teens are in Washington Heights (5 open), New Springville (4 open), and Highbridge (4 open). These counts are recomputed every morning.
The largest by number of programs are NYC Parks (59), Dodge YMCA (2), Castle Hill YMCA (2), La Central YMCA (2), and Harlem YMCA (2). 7 providers in total have enrichment and STEM programs for teens listed across NYC.
Yes — 14 of the 70 programs with a published schedule meet on a Saturday or Sunday. Use the day filter above the list to show only weekend or weekday classes.
