Einstein's Workshop is excited to announce our new Fall 2020 Guided Learning program! It's a day program that takes place during the week and is intended to provide support and care for students outside the home when they are not at the school building. When attending our program students will attend their regular virtual classes and have homework time. During their free time we will engage them in STEM education in the category of their choice: Coding, Game Making, Robotics, or Making & Inventing. Who is this Program for? Students who have an interest and passion for STEM.Students attending 4th to 8th grade All students must be engaged in some virtual schooling during the day. **Note: On the week of Sept 14th there are also camp style programs available during the same time for students who are not attending school yet. The program begins on September 21st and Students can be registered for a Monday/Tuesday session, a Thursday/Friday session or both. What Will This Program Look Like? Start 8:30am - Start time is flexible depending on each student's schedule. Virtual Classes and School Work - Our staff will assist in making sure that students are participating in their classes on time and for the full duration.
