Rice University recently hosted Collab Kid U, an initiative spearheaded by Collaborative for Children designed to inspire young learners ages 3 to 6 years to foster a love for STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics). The inaugural event was held April 13 in Tudor Fieldhouse.
During the camp, children and their families embarked on a transformative journey of exploration and discovery, with several Rice departments offering a variety of educational activity stations.
Collab Kid U offers an intelligent, fun and immersive “Full STEAM Ahead” experience where children engage in captivating STEAM activities including coding challenges, climate solutions to life sciences and interactive robotics. The participants also unleash their creativity and curiosity through hands-on learning.
"We are thrilled to introduce Collab Kid U and provide young learners with an opportunity to explore the wonders of STEAM education," said Melanie Johnson, president and CEO of Collaborative for Children. "Our goal is to give little Houstonians an early start, inspire a lifelong passion for learning, and empower children to prepare for school and become the innovators and problem-solvers of tomorrow."
