This past fall, Sci-Tech Kids opened an amazing new STE[A]M Maker Lab on the Upper East Side.

Offering a STE[A]M (STEM+Art) experience for ages 3-15—part learning lab and part makerspace—children as young as 3 can enjoy activities like growing hydroponic plants, experimenting with circuitry, building robots, piloting a flying drone, and 3D printing food.

“Our new 2,000-square-ft flagship location will take learning to a new level,” says Kim Magloire, President and Founder of SciTech Kids.

The new location, in keeping with Sci-Tech’s overall mission, will allow kids to explore science and engineering concepts by doing rather than watching.

The Long Island School For The Gifted

A smart start of an educational journey.&nbsp; For over 40 years, The Long Island School For The Gifted has provided an accelerated experience for gifted children in pre-kindergarten through ninth grade, in a nurturing environment where they will be both intellectually challenged and comfortable socially. LISG helps gifted students develop the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed for life. Emotional, and social needs of the gifted child are addressed whilst building strong character as part of the commitment to developing the whole gifted child. The beauty of an independent gifted school like LISG is that students can learn and grow with others who are like them.&nbsp; We have found that LISG&rsquo;s whole-school approach to gifted education has benefitted our students both more broadly and more deeply than alternative approaches&mdash;like isolated &ldquo;enrichment&rdquo; activities, single accelerated classes, or simply placing exceptionally intelligent children with older students in higher-grade classes.&nbsp; With gifted peers, students learn in a cooperative environment that provides for their social and emotional development and in which giftedness is valued and nurtured by every teacher and staff member in the school. &nbsp;LISG has rolling admissions. Availability is limited based on the grade.&nbsp; Contact them today.
