Inspiring kids to love learning and develop marketable skills through real experience.
KidsWow is not just a program, it is a process. Humans forget what they hear. They remember what they do.
KidsWow brings to life the biblical foundation of the universe with the modern understanding of light, electromagnetic waves, and motion. Experience “Let There Be Light” in a dynamic 30-minute to 3-hour experience perfect for inspiring kids.
Through science, technology, engineering, and math, kids see an idea turned into concrete experience. They don’t just learn about electricity or motors, they get to use and make what they learn about. We use a “physics first” approach to truly equip and inspire KidsWow participants with a groundwork that will never change.
KidsWow Finance Foundations combines concrete practice with essential financial education to equip participants to become confident masters of their finances. They learn how to grow and protect wealth and discover the entrepreneurial mindset. This program is perfect for 10th grade and above.
Kids learn passively in their classroom. Teachers waste valuable time and resources just getting the kids to sit still and be quiet. Without internal motivation and curiosity, kids learn about topics, but don't go home wanting to learn more.
Kids build curiosity, purpose, and experience-based confidence. They explore, ask questions, and have the courage to try again. Facilitators create an environment that encourages the “wow” that inspires kids to be lifelong learners.
KidsWow is learning the Natural Way.
KidsWow creates an environment where kids are valued, develop internal confidence, and gain real life experience to navigate an increasingly complex world.
Kids are the future. Don't leave them behind.
“No one can know a child's future, yet there are hints from early ages if we learn to see their potential.”
From restless learner to engineer
“One KidsWow learner had so much energy he would practically bounce off the walls. As he grew older, he started to focus better. He would do more than he was required to do and I saw him excel in our after-school STEM program. I told his parents, "Your son has real potential in engineering." They found a school that would give their son a clear path into the engineering world. He has now graduated in that field.”
Unlocking creativity in STEM
“One KidsWow STEM participant had been given a very simple program that could draw lines using dots. When I came back around to check on her progress, she had used the simple dots program to draw the image of a famous anime character. The character was recognizable. I got contagiously excited. That was an important moment. A few years later, she decided that she was going to pursue a career in graphic design.”
Seeing the potential early
“I was invited to a high school event where a friend's son was going to play a guitar solo after six months of practice. His skill level was not impressive, but his passion and confidence caught my attention. I told his mom afterward, "You know your son has real talent in music, don't you?" She admitted that she had never thought about it until I mentioned it. That event triggered a new life trajectory. He eventually studied music in Boston at a famous college and became a composer.”
KidsWow supports Kansas City area schools, homeschool programs, and churches.
We can also discuss remote learning options.
