Kids STEM Program

provide stem opportunities to children and public schools in marginalized communities

Bridging the gap between the current STEM opportunities in low-income and underserved schools.

Our STEM program at Inspired Now Networks, Inc. is designed to address the urgent need for preparing students in marginalized communities for future STEM opportunities that may not yet exist.

Our programs are accessible to schools, community organizations, and parents alike, ensuring that all children have the opportunity to participate and benefit from STEM education.

Through a comprehensive curriculum spanning science, engineering, computer programming/coding, math, robotics and automation, and business programs, we offer a diverse range of learning opportunities tailored to the needs and interests of school-aged children.

Our programs are delivered through various formats, including summer camps, track out camps, afterschool programs, weekend classes, and classes both in and outside of schools.

We provide Instructor-led online courses

We offer Instructor-led online courses, along with programs held in diverse venues such as schools, community centers, and religious centers. Additionally, our courses promise children an engaging learning journey, complete with live interactions with both their peers and the instructor, ensuring a fun-filled educational experience.

We cover the following

Engineering and coding development
Common Core Mathematical and Language Arts Practice
Information and Technology Standards
Computer Science Education Standards

Comprehensive line-up of STEM curriculum

Curriculum

We’ve developed a comprehensive STEM curriculum covering computer coding, science projects, engineering, robotics and automation, as well as business and entrepreneurship. With our wide range of courses, there’s plenty to engage your students in hands-on STEM learning experiences.

Flexible Program Delivery

We provide custom STEM activities that fit your goals for in-school STEM enrichment.

Custom Program Delivery – online (virtual) instructor-led classes, afterschool, before-school, workshops, regular STEM classes or camps.

We deliver the program materials, or we can bring instructors and materials including computers to your site.

Our STEM programs are FUN AND ENGAGING

We like to keep the learning environment fun and engaging, which is a foundational principle of our learning experience. The curriculum is developed for children who enjoy activities that will encourage hands-on engagement in their learning environment.

STEM delivery programs will resume in the upcoming year. We will update the website when the service is available.

Providing different courses to cover a variety of core ideas.

SCIENCE Program

Our science portfolio provides a variety of core ideas related to science education.

Motion Commotion and Mechanical Engineering cover motion and stability, forces and interactions.
Aerospace Engineering covers motion, forces and earth science.
Biomedical Engineering courses cover life science, forces and motion.
Environmental and Sustainable Engineering courses cover ecosystems and energy.

Computer Programming

In the 21st century, computing skills stand as vital pillars for both personal and professional development. These versatile abilities find application across a myriad of careers, directly or indirectly linked with STEM disciplines.

From foundational principles to advanced coding languages like Python and Java, we equip learners with the tools necessary to navigate the digital landscape with confidence. Whether crafting computer games, developing applications, animating visuals, engineering Internet of Things devices, or delving into robotics, our programs empower individuals to harness the transformative potential of computing in their pursuits.

Through hands-on projects and immersive experiences, we aim to cultivate a generation of digitally fluent problem-solvers ready to thrive in today’s interconnected world.

Skills are considered important for educational development.

The 4Cs

The 4Cs of STEM represent the practices of Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking and Creativity. These practices are needed for success and individual growth. The 4Cs entail:

Communicating effectively to understand and to be understood.
Working creatively, designing and innovating.
Collaborating or working in teams to get things done.
Thinking critically to achieve your goals.

Our curriculum incorporate the 4Cs to help participants explore the mechanisms of working and thriving in today’s work environments while being mindful about their learning.

Others

Core Ideas related to the following are also covered through our children-friendly curriculum:

Mathematical Practice – persevere in solving problems, model with math, reason abstractly and quantitatively and make use of structure.
Language Arts Practice – comprehension, collaboration, presentation of knowledge and ideas.
Technology and Computer Science – computational thinking, using technology as a tool to practice teamwork, analyze and communicate, computing practice and programming, computer and communication devices, community, global and ethical impacts.

Learning method to provide an interactive learning experience.

STEM Coaches
