Eden Prairie Community Education

This engaging and fun training is designed to provide children in grades K-8 with age-appropriate information they need to keep themselves safe. Students will be separated into groups based on their grade level (K-1, 2-3, 4-6, & 7-8) and will either attend the "Super Hero Kids" or "NOT ME!" course tailored to their ages. Curriculum is intended to build personal safety skills, prevent assaults of children, and empower them to “Get Away and Tell” if they are ever feeling uncomfortable. Please check out this video clip for more information about Super Hero Kids: https://vimeo.com/280827023. More detailed information is presented to older students about staying safe both at and away from home, as well as on the internet.Eden Prairie Community Education is partnering with the the NOT ME! organization to offer this course at a minimal cost to families thanks to generous support from the Eden Prairie AM Rotary and the Super Hero Kids Foundation. Visit the NOT ME! website for more information at www.notmetraining.com. Important Note: At least 1 free adult/family is required to attend; additional adults are welcome to attend for free. 

The Engineering for Kids STEM Club introduces students to a new, hands-on, STEM learning lesson every week from various engineering disciplines. For each lesson, students focus on developing 21st Century skills such as problem solving, critical thinking and peer collaboration skills. These life skills provide students with the confidence to approach challenges in their lives and realize that they can succeed. Engineering for Kids has a growing library of 300+ individual lessons so we never have to repeat.

New and returning students invited. Each class follows four basic components: •Teach It!
