Who we are...
|
CT Science 4 Kids is a dynamic not-for-profit science education organization dedicated to strengthening, enriching, and enhancing Connecticut’s public school students academic experience and cultural competence through out-of-school informal student-centric STEM learning opportunities. Over the last 16 years, we have developed a successful strategic learning model that is rooted in the belief that educational equity that maximizes individual potential can be achieved in Connecticut through collaborative programs involving participating school districts, businesses, institutions, universities, industries, entrepreneurs, and the not-for-profit community. Our programs are designed to extend the school day/year, enrich the traditional curriculum, and empower students to become responsible, contributing, and engaged citizens in today’s global economy.

Additionally, we offer science programming at your site.
Our staff will bring NGSS-based student-centered science to your school, after school program, community center, camp, or other site. We are available for one session/class/group, all day programs for grade levels, and, with appropriate planning, more extensive small unit presentations involving a number of days. From small groups to grade level involvement, students become more curious, excited, and highly motivated learners. |
