The great minds of tomorrow are in elementary schools everywhere, but science isnot. PS Science brings inspiring lessons to classrooms that cultivate a deepunderstanding of the world and grow students and teachers who are confident andinspired by science.
P.S. Science, originally a program of Crossroads Community Outreach Foundation, Inc.(CCOF), which was formed as a separate 501 (c)(3) organization by Crossroads School for Arts and Sciences in 2004 to share resources with undeserved schools in the greater Los Angeles community, absorbed the 501(c)(3) in June 2017 in order to focus all efforts on bringing rich STEM programs to under-served elementary schools.
Beginning in September 2019,the PS Science program provided weekly, 90-minute engaging hands-on science lessons to over 2,200 students and 80 teachers in grades K through 5 throughout the school year. We delivered all lesson materials to our partner schools each week.
S-Team Rangers Summer Science CampWe are pleased to report that our 5th annual S-TEAM Rangers Summer Science camp for our oldest PS Science students wasrun through Zoom in June 2020. Camp materials bags were assembled and delivered to all participants, high school mentor/coaches recruited, and the remote two-week camp was an incredible success with a great blend of STEM activities including dissections, coding with micro:bits, creative product design, electronics, magnetism and more! The forty students who participated gave the camp the highest rating and continued Zoom meetings on their own twice weekly throughout the summer to further their new friendships and STEM interests.
Code ClubPS Science now offers an after school Code Club for 4th and 5th grade students who are interested in exploring coding and programming. The club meets weekly after school throughout the school year. Participants receive a materials kit containing a micro:bit microprocessor and additional sensors and components. Most projects are based on the MakeCode website at https://makecode.microbit.org/ Students become skilled at creating code, programming sensors, testing and revising the output with lights, sounds, and other sensors. Projects will vary each semester, and have included battling robots, kinetic sculptures, robot dance contests, and more! This is an introductory club and no prior coding experience is necessary. There was one Club in this fiscal year that served 30 students.
