Summer STEM with Snapology + giveaway

This post is sponsored by Snapology. As always, all opinions are my own.

I have been a fan of Snapology for several years now. We first became acquainted with the STEM learning brand back in 2017:

What is Snapology?

Snapology is a fun way to introduce robotics and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts to children. Snapology students also learn social skills, such as patience and teamwork. Snapology’s peer-reviewed curriculum is designed to benefit gifted and traditional students, as well as children with extra needs, including those with sensory processing and autism spectrum disorders.

Snapology offers a wide array of interactive, play-based activities for children ages 2-14 - including enrichment classes, birthday parties, workshops, camps, scouting events, and field trips - mainly using LEGO® bricks, K’Nex toys and technology. The programs can be customized based on the number of children, age of children, and time allotment. Programs can also be broken down into individual classes, such as Superhero or Minecraft themed events, competition robotics teams, video game design, science classes and engineering skill-development programs. The classes emphasize collaboration, team-building, and presentation skills.

As you can imagine, Covid-19 has created some challenges for in-person enrichment programs, parties, field trips- the whole premise of Snapology. The good news is they came up with a plan to offer online classes, playdates and parties. 

Since we are deep into summer and I am not one to ignore "summer slide" we are actively engaging in fun educational games and workbooks. To step in up a notch, I gave the girls some tens frames to add a little math component to their build. Brielana was super into "subitizing" whereas Kinsey just wanted to power through to the end product. Clark was just enjoying hanging out and clipping pieces together.

In support of small businesses and for keeping summer slide at bay, I am so happy to offer an online hour-long build class or a building kit in a giveaway! Learning may look a little different right now, but fun doesn't have to.

Giveaway will run from Wednesday, July 15th through July 21st. Open to all US residents. Prize will be winner's choice of a Snapology building set or online build class session. Winner will be announced via email. Good luck! Enter the Rafflecopter giveaway .
