In Toledo Public Schools, only 30% of elementary students and 33% of middle school students tested at or above the proficient level for math. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) offers an engaging way to improve math understanding.
Project-based STEM build skills by emphasizing design, prototyping and problem solving. However, long-form projects are difficult in a conventional classroom. And most local community science opportunities are limited to single session experiences.
Kool Kat Science addresses these gaps by providing project-based STEM classes at low or no cost. Each project is 3-6 sessions long and is ideally suited for 2Gen (two-generational) learning.
Kids love science. Visit any science center on a Saturday afternoon, and you’ll see bright eyed youngsters having fun. But, real learning requires wrestling with a problem that only science can solve.
Most students are very familiar with technology. In the STEM classroom, technology goes beyond entertainment to serve as a tool for research, design, collaboration and presentation.
Engineering is all about problem solving. STEM classrooms use the Engineering Design Process to design and build solutions to real world challenges.
Math is the language that make design and measurement possible. STEM teams use math to design prototypes and compare alternate ideas.
