FLORES
What is FLORES?
Engage primary students and their caregivers in fun STEM activities, making STEM accessible to all!
Students in grades K-2 and their parents attend 3-4 evening sessions of STEM at the school district, coming together to explore and learn. Caregivers not only have fun interacting with their child each week, but learn valuable ways to support STEM investigations at home.
FLORES is facilitated in English and Spanish by teachers in the home district, overseen by STEM professionals trained by Mercy University Center for STEM Education.
The goal is to advance STEM discovery and understanding in the youngest elementary students while exploring the role of parental involvement.
