After School STE(A)M Class

Introduction

Introducing FasTracKids After School STE(A)M class!  Our fun and educational after school class includes one hour of homework help and Math tutoring enrichment and pairs it with FasTracKids STE(A)M program.  Our students participate in a wide range of FasTracKids topics including: biology, technology, engineering, natural science, earth science, astronomy, arts, math, and critical thinking. Currently available at Park Slope FasTracKids Learning Center.

The FasTracKids After School STE(A)M program substitutes typical after school activities with our variety of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics classes.  The goal is to ensure that all of our kids are participating in the fastest growing educational trend — the integration of science, technology, engineering, art/design, and math — a whole mind way of learning that prepares students for a complex world and the 21st century job market.

What is STE(A)M?

In this climate of economic uncertainty, America is once again turning to innovation as the way to ensure a prosperous future. Yet innovation remains tightly coupled with only Science, Technology, Engineering and Math – the STEM subjects. Art + Design are poised to transform our economy in the 21st century just as science and technology did in the last century. We’ve added Art + Design to the equation and transformed STEM into STE(A)M.

Weekly Schedule

Time: 2:45pm to 5:45pm

Our weekly schedule of S.T.E.A.M classes integrates science, technology,engineering, the arts and math into a class that is essential to student success. These fundamentals are intertwined in the real world.

Monday - Science

Like all of our STE(A)M topics, science plays a direct role in our lives. We explore earth science, biology, and natural science through hands on investigative experiments. Fastrack STE(A)M students propose hypothesies ,design and carry out experiments to test their theories.

Tuesday - Technology

We explore how technology impacts every aspect of our daily lives. We will look at some of the latest developments in this field and how they work. Part of our study includes the fascinating and rapidly evolving history of technology .

Wednesday - Engineering

Our engineering programs explores inventions and how things work. We take apart machinery and reconstruct it to learn about the engineering behind it. We experiment with building bridges to discover what type of bridge models support weight and why. Students design an unbreakable container for an egg drop experiment.

Thursday - Arts

The arts are integral to every aspect of our lives. Art motivates and inspires us to create and explore our universe. We use art to help develop and expand technology and engineering. Art opens childrens’ minds to new and endless possibilities.

Friday - Math

Building critical thinking skills and applying these skills to real life applications such as economics, architecture, and problem solving
