Children can explore robotics and engineering, movie making, 3D design/animation and printing, math, chess and more.
South Jersey Innovation Center (SJIC), home to STEM and child enrichment programs, prepares to kick off summer with an open house on May 19 from 1 to 4 p.m.
The event will be held onsite at 2003 Lincoln Drive West, Suite A in Marlton.
Open to the public, children of all ages are invited to explore the world of robotics and engineering, movie making, 3D design/animation and printing, math, chess and more with hands on activities are planned for each curriculum.
Throughout the afternoon, SJIC will display some of the latest 3D and animation projects designed by students for local businesses, recognizing the kids for their creative efforts.
Children and parents will be able to tour the facility while visiting with meeting instructors and staff.
The open house will top off a full day of SJIC activities, including the premiere of its Racing Drone Workshop, in which kids will not only learn the fundamentals but build and take home their own drone.
Light refreshments will be served at the event. RSVPs are requested.
“Days are warming up and so are our programs. Kids are really excited as the school year comes to a close and we have a fresh line up of weekly camps that promote creativity and exploration, like making movies, Engineering Blast Off and Math Madness along with chess and strategy games — all to keep their days full,” SJIC Director Dov Gorman said. “Together, these programs teach core principles and skills needed for academic and professional achievement in the future. Watching children excel at the highest levels while do what they enjoy is extremely rewarding.”
Located off Route 73 South and Greentree Road, the SJIC is a 501(c)(3) organization offering enrichment and competitive programs meant to help children develop life skills, critical thinking and creativity through STEM programs and activities for students of all levels starting at 6 years old.
Children are invited into an environment where they can enjoy analytical reasoning through exploration of advanced engineering, math, chess and their applications in the modern world.
Building on children’s curiosity, SJIC officials say the organization leads the the group to learn beyond the scope of the school curriculum to develop the analytical, problem solving and critical thinking related to academic achievement and workforce readiness in the 21st century.
