PUFFIN FOUNDATION 2019 AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM Teaneck School District

Summary of Hobby Quest Corporation:

Mission Statement:
Hobby Quest Foundation is committed to the mission of reducing educational disparities in communities that cannot afford to pay for high-quality after-school programs. Hobby Quest provides programs in the area of Aviation education – understanding the basic principles of flight by creating model airplanes, and Magic Performance Art education – learning the art of public speaking and storytelling, while understanding the principles of performing a magic trick. The Aviation program reinforces Next Gen Science standards and 21st-century skills in project-based learning, engineering problem-solving, model development, and generalization of modeled principles to the real world. The Magic Performance program reinforces students' self-esteem and self confidence in a creative environment, while also reinforcing generalization of modeled principles to the real world. Classes take place before or after school and during summer camps. By serving low-income populations and high-needs children with enjoyable and educational Hobby Quest classes, the experience serves to spark creativity and wonder in students whose worldview may be limited by economic stressors. It helps students engage in project-based learning - a key concept motivating success in critical thinking, especially in STEAM fields. Ultimately, Hobby Quest’s programs serve to impart fundamentals our students will use for a lifetime.

Alignment with the mission statement of The Puffin Foundation:
Our Teaneck program, funded by The Puffin Foundation, introduced an economically disadvantaged, under-represented population of students to our highly creative after-school programs. We worked closely with the Teaneck BOE to identify the most economically-challenged, underrepresented families in the district. Based on the feedback of the participating students, the outcome was a new understanding and appreciation for aviation and magic in the diverse community of the Teaneck School District. In addition, students’ imaginations were sparked in a fun and educational manner through our lessons and hands-on creative experiences. Children took home all models and tricks during the 10-week program- this was an amazing and unique benefit for many of the children. This enriching experience will remain with them long after the program ends.

Method to monitor and evaluate progress and results: Parents and children will be surveyed. Children’s notes, feedback, and photos will be provided in book format and all results will be documented in report form.

Target population of this program
The target population of our program is students in grades K-5 in the Teaneck School District.

Project Title
The Puffin Foundation/Hobby Quest Full STEAM Ahead After School Program

Program/project and elements:

Overview:
A 10-week program that is offered during the winter/spring 2019 semesters where students learn the science of flight and/or the performance art of Magic through defined STEAM curriculum and hands-on activities. The programs were developed to teach STEAM curriculum while stimulating creative growth in a fun and playful environment. The intended outcome is to inspire children to explore the depths of their imagination and achieve their very best. By providing hands-on projects that must be built from scratch or performed in front of an audience, children are encouraged to express their individuality while learning important principles. Through well-trained instructor guidance, we promote confidence and encourage creative thinking in an intuitive fashion, and as a result impart fundamentals our students will use for a lifetime. We are proud to support great minds of the future in partnership with The Puffin Foundation by building the foundation upon which the innovators of tomorrow can learn, play, and grow today.

Outcome and results:
At the conclusion of the 10-week program children will have learn:
Aviation: A history of aviation, basic principles of flight, and how to build and fly multiple model airplanes. Children will design and create models using their own hands and imagination and all models will be taken home. They will learn to visualize the outcome and work towards it – problem solve, read blueprints, use basic airplane engineering, work over a period of time, develop resiliency in the face of challenges, and build self-confidence.
Magic: How to master several magic tricks, story-telling skills, public speaking skills, performance skills and gain greater self- confidence. Math and measuring skills will be reinforced as part of the programs and each child will take home all of the tricks they receive during the classes. Children will learn the art of performing magic tricks in front of an audience – problem solve while learning the tricks, follow instructions, basic math skills, self-confidence while learning public speaking skills.

General results: Ultimately, children will develop skills for a lifetime and a new appreciation for the design skills of model plane building and the art of magic trick performance.

Program Dates:

Program will be offered in the Teaneck School District and run during winter/spring 2019.

The initial program will be broken down into classes for each subject (Aviation & Magic) for each elementary school. There will be up to 12 children in each class at each school location. Classes will be 60 minutes. We will run each class at each school for 10 weeks each semester (March/April start dates).
