SciPreneur to Offer Fall Enrichment Classes in Scottsdale Through Community Schools
For the upcoming 2012-2013 school year, SciPreneur will be offering its Ology programs through Community Schools throughout the Scottsdale Unified School District.
Previously, SciPreneur offered a limited amount of after school programs at four elementary schools, but after being accepted through the Request For Proposals process, SciPreneur will be able to expand its lineup of classes throughout the district.
Henkel Sponsored Program Cleans Up
Some 27 students participated in the Science, Innovation & Entrepreneurship program at Mohave Middle School in Scottsdale, AZ through generous funding from Henkel. Students spent seven weeks exploring the science and business of household products, worked diligently to innovate new products and developed a business around them.
“I am amazed of what was accomplished over a 7 week program! I'm sure this experience will benefit the students long term and the skills gained around collaboration, project environment, along with the curriculum and hands on learning is something they can take with them when they enter the workforce. We are delighted that Henkel was able to contribute to such a successful program.
Congratulations again and thank you for making a positive impact on our youth!”
