Two Bridges Kids, New York

2 Bridges Kids! offers after school homework help and a fun, creative environment for youth to explore and create. At 2 Bridges Kids!, children are encouraged to explore the world of STEM in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Curriculum is similar to Two Bridges Day Camp, but places a heavier emphasis on literacy and homework help. Two Bridges Neighborhood Council offers standards-based, hands-on learning at the summer session of 2 Bridges Kids! Children ages 7-13 master science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), as well as literacy, oral and written communication skills via project-based learning. Working in collaborative groups, campers: explore the physical and social world around them during field trips in and surrounding NYC, develop scientific questions, perform bibliographic research, design experiments, collect and analyze data, write, revise, and present reports. Each summer, campers explore a different aspect of the neighborhood around them. Previous camps themes include "Nature in your neighborhood: exploring urban ecology" and "Exploring New York City's watershed: where does our water come from, and where does it go?"
