The intention of this program is to expose KIDS to new ideas, people, places, and things that are within their reach in order to deepen their background knowledge and widen their scope of what is possible. We center on childhood, which includes: Curiosity, Hope, Interests, Laughter, Development, Resilience, Exploration, and Needs. WHY Too many KIDS These Days have the World Wide Web at their fingertips but haven’t explored beyond their block.
