The Gateway to the Future
Classes at the Science Safari are for those who believe in the future of our children. Today's children need to be able to navigate both the physical, natural world around us AND the digital, science and technology worlds we've created. How do we teach them to do this?
Our classes are small, our students have an intense interest in learning and exploring, our projects keep them thinking, and their parents are dedicated to giving them opportunities. It's easy to pick up quality tools here in the store to keep them learning. These are kids we can easily envision one day saving the world in some way, so we stretch beyond basic learning to draw out their talents and encourage them to pursue their questions.
As they age up into the older groups, many of our kids have been in a class together for years. This makes for cohesive group learning, teamwork, brainstorming and supporting each other.
