What people are saying…
Teachers
“Our students were engaged in learning. They very much enjoyed this experience... it included science, technology, engineering, math, art!”
“I was surprised to see how motivated and engaged my children were in the classroom during Kidspire time! Kidspire certainly inspired them in a unique way...children made connections with both Math and Science”
“I like that the students were using hands-on activities to supplement what they learned in school.”
“The students absolutely loved building their structures and bridges...children gain a sense of confidence and accomplishment while creating amazing structures... and collaboration with peers was reinforced.”
PTA and Parents
“It was truly a privilege to have Kidspire in our school. Karen and her program were loved by the children and the teachers. The program is a fun way to learn and includes STEAM education. Thank you for all you did for our school we really appreciate it! We wish you continued success!””
“Thank you again, for a wonderful program! My son and his classmates got a lot out of it and have been observing NYC in a new way!”
“The whole family learned from this experience as my son would come home and excitedly explain what he learned that day at school. I really think this program changed the way he looks at buildings both in New York and around the world. The tower my son made is proudly displayed on his desk. ”
“I wholeheartedly recommend this project to all children, even the ones who don’t seem interested in building because, you never know what their inner potential is and what they might discover afterwards. More importantly, this is a project that allows kids to express themselves, learn the subject better, and have fun. I think every child deserves such fun learning activity. Lastly, expressing oneself in the form of a poem, art, or a structure in a way you can see it and friends and family can appreciate it, seems very appealing and rewarding for children.”
Students
“When I heard about the city project, my expectations were that it might be really boring… But when we actually did it, we had so much fun! I think kids will like this project because you get messy, learn about buildings, and work with your friends. I learned about a lot of the buildings in Manhattan, now I know even more than my parents!”
“All your projects were so exciting and I thought all of them were interesting. At the beginning of the year I thought we wouldn’t have art but when we asked the principal and she said yes, I’m happy she chose you.”
“I liked your projects and I want to do it again in 4th grade...”
“I had many expectations for this project, and all of them were met. I thought that we were going to make models of famous buildings, and we did that, along with learning more about the building and architectural processes. I was pleased that we got to make our models very detailed in a variety of ways. I would definitely recommend this project, as I had an amazing time doing it, and I learned a lot of new things about architecture.”
