Collaborative for Children Pioneers Collab Kid U

Inaugural Full STEAM Ahead Event Aims to Inspire Young Minds.

HOUSTON – Feb. 12, 2024

Collaborative for Children  is excited to announce Collab Kid U, Houston's newest and most

exciting event designed to inspire very young learners, ages 3 through 6 years, to foster a love

for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics).

Set to debut at the campus of Houston's pioneer in STEAM innovation, Rice University, on April

13, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Collab Kid U invites children aged 3 to 6 and their families to

embark on a transformative journey of exploration and discovery. At Rice University's Tudor

Fieldhouse, this inaugural event promises to be an unforgettable experience for all attendees.

Collab Kid U offers an "intelligent fun" and immersive Full STEAM Ahead experience, where

children will engage in captivating STEAM activities including coding challenges and climate

solutions to life sciences and interactive robotics; young participants will unleash their creativity

and curiosity through hands-on learning.

Children will be excited to earn stickers and buttons as they conquer challenges to prepare

Houston's future leaders through STEAM activities. Following their adventure, participants will

commemorate their achievements with a graduation photograph and a Collab Kid U diploma to

symbolize their Full STEAM Ahead accomplishment.

"We are thrilled to introduce Collab Kid U and provide young learners with an opportunity to

explore the wonders of STEAM education," said Dr. Melanie Johnson, President and CEO of

Collaborative for Children. "Our goal is to give little Houstonians an early start, inspire a lifelong

passion for learning, and empower children to prepare for school and become the innovators and

problem-solvers of tomorrow."

Tickets for Collab Kid U are $10 for children, with free admission for parents and guardians

accompanying their children.
