Summary:

Expanded Learning Staff will facilitate the hands-on, engaging, and problem based learning modules, Pod Pals and Zoom (TK-1), Solar Bot and Flight Lab (2-3), Duck Chuck and Optibot (4-5) and E-Birds and Circuit Sculptures (6-8) daily during summer program at the 21 ( CARES 18 elementary and 3 middle school sites).

Their engaging, hands-on modules are designed to meet the needs of TK-8 students, helping develop the Innovation Mindset — a growth mindset that instills essential skills for any area of life.
The total purchase for all modules for over 2,000 students across 21 sites is $207,128.43 ($175,560.00 for modules, $13,167.00 for shipping/handling, plus $18,401.43 tax not included in the quote).
