Countdown to TBWA 2026 Summer of STEM

HOW IS IT ALREADY the last day of school?!?

Today is all about watching our kids grow ten feet tall (metaphorically, of course!). Data shows that 66% of parents look to summer programs as a key opportunity to build their child's confidence. In TBWA playful STEM activities, we celebrate mistakes as "data points" and failures as "first attempts in learning." When kids realize they can design a solution to a tough problem entirely on their own, their confidence skyrockets! 🚀🌟
