Rainbow Clubs support younger students and their diverse families. It is open to anyone – kids who identify as LGTBQ+, kids with families who are LGTBQ+, allies who support their friends and families. Each week we will read a diverse picture book, do a craft and have themed lessons/activities that promote inclusion.

Kids of all ages and skill levels can benefit from chess.  In addition to having fun, kids practice analytical and problem-solving skills, learn discipline, concentration, and good sportsmanship. The chess program will provide instructional materials, chess equipment, and qualified instructors.  All skill levels will be accommodated, and the class will be divided up according to age and/or ability.

Children are challenged to transform a polluted wasteland into a thriving farm and business. To complete their mission, students work with a programmable robot called Bot ANN-E, which is designed to teach fundamental coding & binary code. Children program Bot ANN-E to accomplish tasks such as tending to a farm, herding farm animals and navigating a city to learn how automated technology can maximize their time and profits. Time will also be devoted to creating an imagined or real business. We will also continue to build our audio-visual skills with a mock broadcast journalism scenario that explores many roles from reporters and anchors to producers, to learning about research and interviewing to technology.

*Research has shown that National Inventors Hall of Fame education programs increase STEAM interest, align to state Science, Math, and English Language Arts Standards, increase creativity and problem-solving skills, promote thinking and cooperation skills, and increase student engagement and agency. But we think its mostly FUN for KIDS! All children can invent!
