Engineering for Kids | STEM Club
Grades K - 4
All new lessons for the new school year. Calling new and returning students - The Engineering for Kids Jr Engineering/STEM Club brings fun, hands-on lessons every week to introduce engineering concepts at a young age. For each lesson, students focus on developing 21st Century skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, and teamwork. These life skills give students the confidence to approach challenges in their lives and realize that they can succeed in anything!
