This exciting week will inspire young minds and provide a unique opportunity to learn about the science behind saving lives!

This program is open to students entering 3rd through 8th grades in the 2025-2026 school year. Space is extremely limited, so be sure to register soon!

Productive Failure

It's important for kids to learn from their mistakes. When they try and don't succeed right away, they learn to solve problems and keep trying. This helps them grow and get better. Let's help our kids see mistakes as a way to learn and do better next time.

NO ONE wants them to fail in life! These failures may occur on an in-class assignment, a quiz, a big project or even a test. We are here to support your child(ren) as they encounter these struggles and we are here to push them to new limits each and every time after these failures.
