As kids grab their backpacks and head to the classrooms this week, Woodcraft Rangers is ready with an abundance of opportunities for the kids through their NVISION after school program. 3D printing, cybernetics programs, dance competitions, and sports tournaments are all ready for the youth in the Garvey School District in Rosemead and all around Los Angeles this year as they return back to school. As the summer comes to an end and the classrooms are full of energetic kids, Woodcraft Rangers looks to continue their support in classroom education which expands into after school with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum for kids.
According to a study from the National Math and Science Initiative, 26 industrialized nations perform better than U.S. students in math and 19 in science. With much-needed youth interest to indulge toward these subjects, Woodcraft Rangers’ STEM programs can help assist those students towards the direction of math and science. Whether it be drama productions, science and art experiments, or building robotics, students in after school will be introduced through STEM through unique programs for these boys and girls.
The need for these programs is imperative in order for the youth to develop into high achievers. “With our curriculums infused through STEM, we develop an interest within our students at a young age with the hopes that it expands as they proceed on to higher education,” said Woodcraft Rangers’ CEO, Chris Johnson.
Woodcraft Rangers has expanded their NVISION after school program into new schools for the 2015/2016 school year. Environmental Charter Middle School in Inglewood, Wisdom Elementary, 93rd Elementary in Los Angeles and KIPP LA in East Los Angeles.
Since its inception, Woodcraft Rangers has served over 1.1 million youth leaving an invaluable impact on their lives. Their customized curriculum through summer camps, after school, and plug in programs allow students to learn through fun activities tailored to their personal interests.
