How We Deliver
Kids Engine can support different formats depending on the site, age group, equipment, and facilitator capacity.
Discovery Lab
A 1 to 2 hour hands-on STEAM experience for one classroom, youth group, or community site.
Pilot Lab
A multi-session program for approximately 25 to 40 children with hands-on stations across science, technology, engineering, arts, and math.
Community STEAM Day
A family-facing event hosted with a school, library, community center, youth organization, or local partner.
Facilitator Launch
Training for teachers, volunteers, university students, and community educators who want to continue the program locally.
Want a program at your venue?
We partner with schools, community organizations, Boys & Girls Clubs, YMCAs, public libraries, and faith-based organizations. Internationally, we work with NGOs and local STEAM professionals. If you can host a program or train as a facilitator, we want to hear from you.
