Club Invention |
| Description: |
Club Invention is an exciting out-of-school-time
program where children learn through fun, hands-on experiences,
and discovery. Children are immersed in activity-oriented
adventures that enhance their understanding of science, mathematics,
history, and the arts - it's learning disguised as FUN!
This enrichment program consists of activity-oriented
modules that enhance and enrich the application of
academics in an out-of-school-time setting. Developed by educators, the innovative curricula
aligns with national and state standards and is carefully
piloted for several years before a national rollout. The program
also provides teachers a valuable and challenging professional
development opportunity to apply new teaching methods and
view the learning environment in imaginative ways. |
| Who: |
The program is age-appropriate for children
in grades one through six. This program is available through
