The Weekly Classroom program is an engaging educational initiative designed to involve students in grades K–5 in science through hands-on activities. By encouraging experimentation and facilitating in-class discussions, Demos volunteers aim to ignite students’ curiosity while helping them grasp the basic principles behind each experiment. Volunteers spend about one hour per week teaching in a New Haven elementary classroom, fostering meaningful connections with their students.
The curriculum covers a broad range of STEM subject areas and is designed to provide students with enriching opportunities for exploration and experimentation that complement the standard New Haven curriculum. Each hour-long module is carefully aligned with Connecticut curriculum standards for grades K–5.
