STEM For Kids at Wake County Public Schools

We Bring Programs to Your School - After-school, Before-school, In-school Workshops and Camps

Innovative Curricula

At STEM For Kids, our goal is to provide a fun learning environment for program participants. Brain research shows that fun is an important ingredient for learning and memory.
 
How do we do it?
 
Through our rigorous curriculum development and delivery process.
 
We have developed a wide array of kid-friendly curricula covering the breadth of STEM – Engineering, Computing and Advanced Manufacturing. Each of our program curriculum is conceived in a STEM practitioner’s mind. Curriculum development involves hours of testing the concept and its delivery with children subjects to ensure that the content is easy to understand, interesting and hands-on. Any activity that does not meet our criteria is vetted out.

Equally important is training of our STEM coaches. Coaches are trained on not just the content but also delivery methods.

Educational Touchpoints

At STEM For Kids, we believe in hands-on enquiry-based activities with purposeful learning. Our curricula and programs align with educational standards.

The 4 Cs

The colors of STEM need the canvas of 4Cs to be effective.
 
What are the 4 Cs?
The skills of Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking and Creativity. These are the key skills needed for success and individual growth.
 
Our programs seamlessly incorporate the 4Cs to help participants explore the mechanisms of working and thriving in today’s work environments.

Real World Connections

At STEM For Kids, we believe in learning with a purposeful real world connection. We address the “so what” for program participants.
 
Our program curricula is born out of real world problems and challenges handled by people in the industry. Real world connection is a start not an after-thought in our curricula.
 
Plus, participants’ experiences are further enriched by industry guest speakers and role models.
