Our Goal
WizKidz Science and Technology Centers offers a hands on, STEM driven initiative that introduces multi-component programs that seeks to broaden participation and engage K-12 students in the dynamics of science and technology. WizKidz Science and Technology Centers offers programs that are specifically designed to bridge the digital divide for youth that are at-risk and economically or socially disadvantaged.
Our main goal is to help students successfully understand and utilize mathematical systems and scientific processes by incorporating an array of standards based activities in a STEM enhanced facility. Our aim is to actually get the students excited about math and science. Our programs are focused on enriching the lives of children and young adults through technology and science. In addition to developing critical math, science, communication and problem-solving skills, our initiative helps students increase their confidence and their motivation to learn.
  
WizKidz Science and Technology Centers aim to:
-
Place STEM learning centers nationwide that introduce programs intended to address low testing scores in Math and Science and devise a comprehensive plan to help students improve in these particular testing areas.
-
Decrease the involvement in areas that could result in criminal activity. During after school hours juveniles are more at risk of being involved in criminal activities. Our program is intended to influence students to stray from deviant behavior and focus on career and self development.
-
Motivate students to increase math and science skills by providing realistic science and technology scenarios that cause the students to think critically and successfully function as a team.
-
Create a network of community partners (School Districts, Universities, etc.)
-
Allow parents to actively participate and engage in the activities
-
Promote career opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
