Newton Boys & Girls Club Adds STEM Programs

The John M. Barry Boys & Girls Club is expanding its STEM programming with these offerings for the fall season:

  • L…E…G…O…Go LEGOS!   (Grades 2-4):  Children will use LEGO Education WeDo kits to design and build models while having fun and trying new things in a casual, yet challenging environment.
  • Keep an Eye Out for… Science!  (Grades 3-5):  Through observation, evaluation, and creative thinking, children will build on their natural curiosity to explore science in fun and exciting classes.
  • Make a Big Deal with the Russian School of Math  (Grades 2-4):  The award-winning Russian School of Mathematics will provide a full-year math program for an hour a week to build up skills, develop critical and logical thinking, and involve alternative approaches such as hands-on activities, puzzles, and projects to engage students.

All programs start on October 5 and run for 10 weeks (except Make a Big Deal, which runs the entire school year).  Registration opens September 1 and is available to Boys & Girls Club members.  (Family membership is $125 per year, and financial aid is available.)  For more information, contact Education Director Tamara Brogan at tbrogan@newtonbgc.com.
