STEM Fueled Fridays at Thanksgiving Point

We are aware that, in order to mitigate the threat of COVID-19, many school districts have opted to run classes on a Monday through Thursday schedule this school year, relying on remote learning each Friday. We recognize that for working parents of elementary-school children, this may present a real educational and child-care challenge.

To remedy this situation and support you in your child’s education, Thanksgiving Point is offering a full-day STEM course every Friday from September 11 to December 11, that complements your child’s classroom curriculum. Classes run from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm each Friday.

Our trained educators use research-based educational practices at the cutting-edge of the field to help your child stay ahead of their peers through:

Hands-on experiments
Inquiry-based learning
Access to professional-grade supplies, equipment, and science labs
Interactive, real-life experiences with robotics, engineering, and the natural world
Career discovery meetings with STEM professionals
This age-appropriate, fun learning experience for boys and girls from 1st to 6th grade is the perfect solution for working parents, and provides a safe, interactive environment where your child will thrive. Our proven health and safety policies* help us prevent the spread of communicable disease, including COVID-19.
