We are establishing a licensed afterschool program under the supervision of Mary Johnson Children’s Center; our request would help to initiate and support programming for up to 25 children per day. At the request of parents of Weybridge, and their school principal, we surveyed the need for and interest in afterschool programming. In addition to meeting the needs indicated in the survey results, the recent consolidation of schools in the Addison Central Supervisory Union has implications for a possible re-distribution of students that would increase enrollment at the Weybridge school, and add more potential participants in afterschool programming. The proposed program would benefit the larger community, in this way as well.

The MINT's kids and family Makerzone, The Boiler, seeks to expand programming to take our high quality STEAM content on the road to reach even more families, especially those who might not be able to get to our location. We piloted our Boiler Bus programming last summer and it was a big hit. Now we're looking to expand that programming model into more summer programming locations (public libraries, rec camps, school summer programs) and provide more outreach programming during the school year during afterschool hours. We also hope to develop a full complement of teacher inservice training to help more classroom teachers across our region up their game around STEAM activities in the classroom.
