Calling all Scientists, Engineers, Innovators and Creative Minds. Imajine That presents its premier full day summer STEAM program for children ages 5 - 14. Our small group, hands-on museum approach focuses on activities such as Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM)! This is a great way to decrease the summer slide, in a fun hands on approach!
Imajine That is an interactive children’s museum, located at the Riverwalk in Lawrence, which features pop up programming in various public schools and community centers.
These various business models all focus on family and child engagement.
The Imajine That Museum is a first of its kind family and child interactive play space where human potential has no boundaries. Our unique 12,000 square foot play space offers an environment where families can create and learn together in a safe and educational manner.
Imajine That's 'Imagination Stations' include a child sized Whole Foods® grocery store, a HUGE dinosaur climbing structure, Between the Lions® literacy area, Peep and the Big Wide World® Science Station, Lowell General Hospital Doctors Office play area, and an arts and crafts area, just to name a few.
In addition to the museum, Imajine That also offers full day family engagement preschool programs called Imajine That University (ITU) located at the Riverwalk Lawrence and at the Rollins School in Lawrence.
Imajine That also offers extended learning day programs in the Boston Public Schools and Lawrence Public Schools. Each of the schools Imajine That works with has a customized curriculum to meet the needs of the school and children.
Imajine That provides education and enrichment for children in the preschool and elementary years. With a play-based approach, Imajine That follows all National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) guidelines for developmentally appropriate practices.
Practices include an intentional focus on (1) social and emotional development, (2) oral language development (speaking, listening, and vocabulary), (3) early literacy learning (especially phonemic awareness, phonics, and listening comprehension), and (4) exploration of STEM topics through highly engaging interactive play.
Art and music are incorporated into many activities. Imajine That uses educational technology from award-winning producers (e.g. the science games from Peep in the Big Wide World produced by WGBH, a PBS affiliate) to enhance learning experiences with iPad technology. And, finally, but very importantly, foundational to the Imajine That approach are physical activity and a healthy way of eating.
You will also find Imajinators (Imajine That Staff) in your local libraries, and town events throughout the year. Imajinators conduct hands on activities for children and families to engage in together in these venues.
No matter where you engage with Imajine That, the focus of the Imajinators will always be“How can I help Create the Day?”
