Goals of KidsTech

KidsTech participants will:

• • recognize the connection between the different components of STEM

  • utilize STEM principles and concepts to solve problems

  • develop the thought processes and motor skills necessary to design, construct and test models

  • communicate their ideas while working productively in a team and/or by sharing with the entire classroom

Our Programs

The KidsTech programs are designed for students in grades K-6. The two programs currently offered are STEM 4 Kids and Young Inventors. The STEM 4 Kids program is for students in grades K-3, Young inventors is for students in grades 4-6. The two programs are taught by SUNY Oswego Technology Education Majors. In the spring we now also have a remote option where children may participate remotely via video conference from anywhere in NY State. This is made possible in part by generous funding provided by National Grid. Both on campus and remote versions receive the same STEM learning materials.
