    Foster 6th grade students' imagination by constructing amazing creations using kid-friendly MakeDo tool kits, cardboard boxes, and other household items.

    While crafting MakeDo creations, students will learn how to work successfully as a team, while also honing the skills of time management, public speaking, and problem-solving. Teams will be assigned a theme, then groups must put their heads together to encompass this theme in their creations. At the end of the project, teams will present their creations and explain their inspiration and reasoning to the class. MS 582 K's staff strives to make their students' day to day lives easier and teaches them the importance of giving back to create a successful community. Through high-quality classroom instruction, before and after-school programs, academic intervention services, social activities, clubs, and teams, they create a community of socially conscious, life long learners who are empowered to make their mark on the world.

    Partnered up with New York Cares and participated in the LEGO Education: Robotics Coding program at the 557 K-Brooklyn Gardens Elementary School (ages 6-10) and worked with future engineers by showing students how to create robots using LEGO Education WeDo Construction sets. Help students design and build their own robots and learn the basics of programming. This hands-on learning approach was designed to experiment with a student's surroundings as a form of problem-solving through coding with three fundamental principles: build, code, and learn.

    This initiative is to cultivate young students to have a strong educational foundation and develop a passionate interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM) among NYC public schools.
