WILLIAMSBURG N5 Campus

STEAM on Monday (Ages 4-6 at 3:15-4:15 pm) with Koko NYC. Class limited to 18 children. Rates are $1850 for the whole school year. Please click here to enroll.

We are excited to continue working with our STEAM provider- Koko NYC! KoKo facilitates process-based, not product-based, workshops. Children in their workshops learn by experimenting rather than following instructions to make a pre-designed product. Koko’s teaching artists encourage children to think creatively to accomplish their goals and support children as they build the confidence to take risks, think big, and learn from failure.

“Trash is treasure.” That is one core value of KoKo: they believe that environmental sustainability is a key focus of KoKo workshops, and we use recycled or repurposed materials as building supplies to teach environmental awareness and innovation. Children in their workshops learn to create with whatever is available in their environment and see “trash” as an opportunity to make something new.

The curriculum will be divided into two semesters: the first semester will feature the course Toy Making, while the second semester will focus on the course Inventors Lab 1 (Simple Machines). Details of each workshop can be viewed here. Unlike previous STEAM courses, students will have the opportunity to take home their unique inventions after each class. Koko brings extensive experience working in a Montessori environment, ensuring that every student remains on track.

Please check out https://kokonyc.org/ for their mission statements and student work.
