We provide a safe space, where kids feel comfortable using STEAM Thinking. We use the activity before concept approach, which makes the lessons more applicable to our kids. This approach not only attracts kids to STEAM but also shows them how exciting these kinds of careers can be.
KIDS FIRST INITIATIVE
STEAM Ignite Program
Steam Ignite Activities
RISE OF THE BOTS
Using creative design thinking students will discover what can happen when you combine the power of technology and the arts.
PHASE TRANSITION OF MATTER
Explore the states of matter while observing some of the properties that make dry ice so unique (in person only).
WE HAVE CHEMISTRY
Let us create something new!
READY SET BUILD
Our young engineers will use the principles of the engineer design process to construct a freestanding tower while competing against each other and the clock.
WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN
In this activity students will be introduced to force and gravity. The engineering design process and creative design thinking will be reinforced as they work together to engineer a structure to protect their valuable cargo (in person only).
BRIDGING THE GAP
Can I truss you to build my bridge?
BLAST-OFF
Using chemistry to harness the energy from a reaction, our future astronauts will be able to generate enough force to launch a rocket into the sky (outdoors/in person only).
RISE OF THE DRONES
Students will be in the pilot seat as three-dimensional learning brings Newton’s First Law to life, while discovering the endless possibilities of drone technology (in person only).
IS THAT ART
Students will get hands-on as they discover the wonderful world of art.

Through a well-developed, engaging presentation of STEAM concepts, students will be able to participate in tangible ways to solve real-world problems.”
Laura Rebollar CCA Community Liaison
“I would recommend Kids First Initiative STEAM Program to my colleagues; it helped the kids to see Stem and practice some science in action that we don’t do in the classroom.”
Educator Lakewood Elementary
