YCIM: A STEAM App Series Program

Your Classroom in Motion: A STEAM App Series uses real-world applications to transform our top attractions into creative learning environments.

Program Overview

The Universal Studios Hollywood STEAM App series combines educational standards with real-world critical thinking to create extraordinary learning opportunities in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics.

Our educational programs align with both state and national academic standards and include a teacher toolkit filled with engaging lessons and differentiated instruction. After each program, students receive Express Access to the program’s corresponding ride, then spend the rest of the day enjoying everything else the Park has to offer.


  • TRANSFORMERS Roll Out: Six Degrees of Freedom – Students learn about the engineering principles of the Six Degrees of Freedom, to reconstruct the ride vehicle’s motion sequence.
  • REVENGE OF THE MUMMY DIG SITE DETECTIVE – Students use the power of scientific observation to draw conclusions from their surroundings, just as real scientists must.
  • JURASSIC PALEOBOTANY – Students will participate in a photo scavenger hunt where they will compare species of flora, and then record their findings just like paleobotanists!
  • STUDIO TOUR STRATEGY – Students apply math and logic to design a simulated studio tour while overcoming unexpected challenges and maintaining a high level of guest experience.

Give your students a unique and exciting new way to experience Universal Studios Hollywood!
