Subjects / Categories:
K2E is a STEM/STEAM program for young girls and boys who enjoy exploring science and building projects. The program is located in Newton, MA (Nonantum Village). Our mission is to provide hands-on and open-ended workshops in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and STEAM (add Arts).
We have developed the K2E approach over several years. Some of the essential components are (1) relating science and engineering with everyday objects, (2) using exciting situations to grab the children's interest, (3) applying different approaches to match children's learning styles, (4) promoting persistence on tough problems, and (5) encouraging all the children to help each other. We wrap all these components in a "Design Challenge" for each session.
As expected, your child will learn a range of STEM concepts and develop inquiry and design skills. Moreover, one of the strong points of pride at K2E is the focus on having children learn how to
- work with other children,
- develop responsibility,
- take initiative, and
- communicate their work.
Note each workshop (i.e., Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday) has a different "Design Challenge" and theme topic so you can sign up your child for as many workshops as you wish!! Over the years, each session has a different "Design Challenge" so they will not be bored. Each academic school year there are five sessions that are setup around holidays and school breaks. We also host summer weekly workshops.- Registration is required
