Spring Break Science Camp: Hands-On Fun With STEM

Spring Break Science Camp: Hands-On Fun With STEM

For the 2nd year in a row, KidWorks Spring Break Sensational Science camp was truly a success. Over the week of Spring Break, 170 students came to KidWorks for a week of hands-on STEM fun including 29 new students from the community.

Students got the opportunity to participate in hands-on science projects including designing a roller coaster, making play dough, race cars they built and designing a space suit thanks to our friends at PBS who provided the curriculum and materials for Science Camp.

KidWorks Resolves To Make 2019 An Amazing Year

KidWorks Resolves To Make 2019 An Amazing Year

Resolve.  One definition of the word is to “decide firmly on a course of action.

Our resolve is stronger than ever to make 2019 the most beneficial experience possible for the hundreds of students and families we serve at KidWorks.

Another variation of the word resolve is resolution.

With 2019 now fully underway, we’d like to share our very own KidWorks’ 2019 New Year’s Resolutions:

STEM Focus Preps Students For Careers That Create A Better Society

STEM Focus Preps Students For Careers That Create A Better Society

“I want to be an astrophysicist.”  “I want to be a biomedical engineer.”  “I want to be a gastroenterologist.”  “I want to be a computer systems software developer.”  “I want to be a mathematician.”

Those aren’t exactly the words you’re likely to hear from the young students enrolled in our state-licensed preschool, but we plant the seeds for meaningful careers at the earliest possible opportunity.  And that focus continues as they walk with us through high school graduation and on to college.

It’s not surprising that many of our students already have clear ideas about the majors they’d like to pursue in college and the meaningful careers they envision for themselves.  PIMCO, one of the world’s premier fixed income investment managers, has been an amazing KidWorks partner who is committed to helping our students achieve those dreams.
