Science Technology Engineering Mathematics for Children

STEM for Families Weekly Schedule Winter 2019. Please contact the program leader Eugenia Khorosheva Jenia@caltech.edu for any questions.

Caltech and JPL Scientists create and simultaneously test this new model of educating children from Kindergarten grade to 12th (5 years old to 18 years old). Students are divided in small groups and receive a well-rounded education in STEM; it's entirely free, it's volontary-based, and open-source.

How it works? Caltech/JPL families teach their children after work hours in small groups ( 6-12 students per class). They use the best curricula from the globe, and also provide the alternative way of interacting with information on conceptual level. They create their own teaching methods and curricula, which are adequate and beneficial for mastering each given subject.
