About the event
During these unprecedented times, it is more essential than ever to keep children engaged throughout the school year and the Summer. Â Often, science based virtual classrooms lack the opportunity for hands-on learning. Â Studies have shown that experiential learning plays a major factor in helping kids retain information and find joy within a subject. Further, combining science, technology, engineering, and math with arts (STEM + A= STEAM) promotes a positive learning environment for kids. Â Our Virtual STEAM Forward! Academy offers the perfect balance of a small classroom size and interactive activities. Â Benefits of registering for the program include:
- Live, Scientist-led sessions
- Hands-on experiments
- Home-based learning
- Fun and interactive topics
- Aligns with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
- Digital workbook for students
- Saturday morning schedule
- Affordable and unique learning experience
- Multi-week program (4 weeks, once a week)
**Note: This course is sold as a packaged, 8-session program, at $12 per session ($12 x 8 = $96).
Our workshops are geared towards children ages 6-10 years old (grade K-5). Â The 8-week program runs every Saturday morning at 10:00 am-10:45 am ET from September 18 through November 13, 2021 (with a midpoint break on October 16, 2021). Â The curriculum includes a range of activities across the STEM fields. Upon completing registration, an email confirmation will be sent to the email on file with meeting login information, schedule of activities and supply list. The registration fee is per household, not per student.
Combined, our instructors have over 40 years of teaching, mentoring & STEAM outreach experience.
During each workshop, students will follow along in an exploratory manner as the instructor provides step-by-step instructions. Â Additionally, the instructor will cover learning objectives, vocabulary, and fundamental concepts to go beyond just performing the demo. Our goal is to get the students excited about STEAM!
