Flexible Delivery | Fully Customizable | First Nations–Focused
KIDS CREATE is a fun, hands-on program that invites children to explore STEM learning through creativity and play — while also strengthening important social and life skills. (STEM means Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.)
Using engaging KiwiCo build-it crates, kids design, build, test, and problem-solve through interactive projects they’re proud of — and each participant gets to take their creation home.
This program is designed for children in Grades K–12, and is fully customizable to meet your community’s needs, schedule, age ranges, and learning goals.
What Makes KIDS CREATE Different
This isn’t just “craft time.” KIDS CREATE is an intentional, skill-building program that blends:
- STEM learning (hands-on building + experimenting)
- Creativity & innovation (kids design, try, revise, and improve)
- Social skills development (teamwork, communication, confidence, respect)
- Positive peer interaction (taking turns, problem-solving together, healthy collaboration)
Kids get to learn by doing — and they build confidence with every activity.
Who This Program Is For
- Children in Grades K–12
- Mixed-age groups (we can run rotations or split groups)
- Schools, education programs, Jordan’s Principle, recreation, youth councils, and community events

First Nations–Focused Approach
KIDS CREATE is delivered with an understanding of the unique challenges and dynamics many First Nations children may experience, including:
- Limited access to consistent enrichment programs and STEM resources
- Confidence barriers and fear of “getting it wrong”
- Group dynamics shaped by community relationships
- The importance of safe, positive spaces where children feel respected and supported
Our approach is strength-based, encouraging, and community-minded. We focus on building skills through fun and success — not pressure.
