Innovation Academy is your partner for hands-on STEAM education.

We are where makers are born

We are where boundaries are pushed.

We are not your average classroom.

We designed a space for creators who don’t just think outside the box - they tear it apart.


Our facility is packed with 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC machines, welding stations, electronics, soldering, and more.

We have programs for everyone. Whether you're an individual, homeschool co-op, scout group, or an entire school, Innovation Academy has a STEAM event just for you.

Come ready to learn, think, and create.

By the Community, For the Community.

Innovation Academy is powered by Building Momentum, a small business based in Alexandria, Virginia.

Building Momentum specializes in advanced R&D, prototyping, and training for defense and industry; Innovation Academy channels the same spirit of innovation into hands-on education for our local community.

We believe in co-creating programs that ignite curiosity and foster creativity. If you don't see a program that sparks your passion, reach out and let us know what you want.
