Energy Express

This summer at Energy Express, stories will come to life through hands-on learning! 📚🌱

Through our Storybook STEM series, children will connect books with science, creativity, building, and discovery.

This summer, Energy Express children will grow their own beans while learning about seeds, plants, and the plant life cycle.

They will become Wind Warriors, inspired by "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind," as they explore engineering design and simple machines by building their own windmills.

They will also take part in The Flowers that Connect Us, a special global connection project that links Energy Express children with elementary school children in Kenya. Through shared activities and cultural exchange, children will learn about helping communities, learning from one another, and seeing themselves as part of a wider world. 🌍

We are so grateful for this partnership and appreciate Dr. Jennifer Robertson-Honecker, Suzanne McDonald, and Dr. Emma Gardner for training our Energy Express mentors!

We can’t wait to see our students read, wonder, build, connect, and discover this summer! 💛
