Description
Welcome to Building Blocks, a STEM-enrichment program that helps kids in grades K-8 use today's technology to create new innovations for a better tomorrow. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics are all around us, yet many kids don't know what types of jobs STEM professionals do. Help prepare kids for bright futures with exciting hands-on projects that use Samsung tablets to introduce Camp Fire kids to STEM careers. Kids will even be able to create their own technological or architectural innovations.

Students Will
  • learn to set goals
  • create innovative designs to improve their communities
  • think critically to solve problems
  • develop a growth mindset
  • pursue strategies and learn to shift gears
  • reflect on what they learned.
