AFTER SCHOOL

Young explorers stand in the tidepools looking at a lobster shell as the EcoLogik instructor explains.

ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

EcoLogik After School is a FREE, 2-week, hands-on, standards-aligned STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) curriculum specifically designed for after school and summer school educators. EcoLogik staff provide the tools, training, and supplies needed for successful integration into your classroom. This engaging content incorporates different learning modalities to reach a diverse audience with a breadth of learning abilities. By leveraging resources from TedEd Earth School and Cabrillo National Monument’s curriculum, each day explores a different STEM theme - from biodiversity to plastics - through daily "quests." Students will learn STEM through art and hands-on activities.

QUEST TOPICS

  • The Nature of Plastics

  • The Nature of Biodiversity Loss

  • The Nature of Plants & Forest

  • The Nature of Deforestation

  • The Nature of Oceans

  • The Nature of Biodiversity

  • The Nature of Water

  • The Nature of Air, Weather, & Climate

  • The Nature of Restoration

  • The Nature of Climate Change

Along their QUEST, After School attendees will be introduced to real, diverse STEM professionals, many of whom are prestigious American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) IF/THEN® Ambassadors. Students will conduct a science experiment and have the opportunity to chat with these professionals during a live call.

“The strong women that led this program have made a huge impact on my life and have changed me for the better. I hope one day to be a role-model for another young girl looking for direction.”
