The YIM school curriculum is a weekly program that will be implemented in public middle and high school special education programs. During the weekly program, students will be guided through STEM activities providing a fun, but educational break from traditional schooling. These engaging and easily adaptable lessons will offer the kids a space for creative thinking, scientific exploration, and an environment to discover their passions. If you are interested in bringing this curriculum to your schools special education, contact us at contact@younginquisitiveminds.org!
Our school curriculum activities include making slime, oobleck, baking soda and vinegar volcanoes and holiday themed STEM activities.
