PROVIDE 3,900 FOURTH AND FIFTH-GRADERS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE STEM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS) THROUGH ACTIVITIES.

THE STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN HANDS-ON LEARNING EXPERIENCES THAT WILL EMPOWER THEM TO ENTER THE FIELDS OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATH.
IMMIGRANT PARENTS RECEIVE INSTRUCTION IN SPEAKING, LISTENING, READING, AND WRITING ENGLISH TO ENABLE THEM TO OVERCOME THE LANGUAGE BARRIER.

TUTORING CLASSES FOR SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN AND CHILD ACTIVITY CLASSES ARE OFFERED DURING THE CLASS TIMES. 105 PARENTS PARTICIPATE ANNUALLY. FOUR LEVELS OF CLASSES ARE AVAILABLE AND PRE- AND PSOT-EVALUATIONS ARE PROVIDED TO ENSURE THE PARENTS ARE IN THE APPROPRIATE CLASS FOR THEIR SKILL LEVEL.
PARENTS LEARN HOW TO TEACH THEIR PRESCHOOL CHILDREN LANGUAGE, MATH, AND REASONING, AND SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SKILLS BEFORE THEY ENTER KINDERGARTEN. DURING THE CURRENT YEAR APPROXIMATELY 1,800 PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS PARTICIPATED IN THIS PROGRAM. ALL CLASSES ARE CONDUCTED IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH. ALL PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE A PARENT KIT THAT CONTAINS AGE APPROPRAITE TOYS, BOOKS, PUZZLES, AND TOOLS. IN THE CLASSES THE PARENTS LEARN HOW TO USE THE MATERIALS AT HOME.
