Are YOU A
Cool-ology® Kid?
Science and Engineering are incredibly cool! I want kids to feel empowered by the STEM/STEAM skills they develop when taking Cool-ology® classes, and that’s also cool. My slogan- Are “You A Cool-ology Kid?” frames this cool feeling of empowerment for kids- meaning: are you curious, a problem solver, a creative/critical thinker, a team player, and more. All of those qualities encompass what it means to be a Cool-ology® Kid. Also, “ology” is a word fragment that means the subject of study or branch of knowledge- those being Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math in the context of Cool-ology®.
