WHAT WE DO

TSEF is actively engaged in providing materials and managing active learning spaces for children to conduct hands-on learning experiments and realize the excitement of discovery in the sciences as well as the arts. In the early stages of the program we are working in partnership with different organizations and volunteers to support after school programs and field trip experiences and demonstrations that give elementary and middle school children the chance to develop a perspective in technology.

Our volunteer mentoring programs work with students, parents and retired scientists to guide the experiments and challenges for students. Our early program this fall focused on building robots and programing them with math programs to engage, compete and communicate through light, sound and music. 

In the program, students will be building and programming soft robots to hold objects. In additional build and program experiments we will build, test and refine race cars and FM frequency and short wave radios to track airplanes and connect to satellites. Our field trip programs will take us from museums to nature preserves to collect specimens for analysis in our Children's discovery laboratories. 

Come be part of the exciting journey of discovery!
