Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club

At our Throggs Neck Clubhouse, we’ve been running an awesome basketball clinic for the last 2 weeks! This is a great start up program for members who are interested in developing their skills in basketball as well as learning key characteristic traits such as sportsmanship, commitment, friendship & consistency. #kipsbayboysandgirlsclub #kipsbaythroggsneck #throggsneck #kipsbay #basketball #ballislife #ballislife

As a STEAM project this week, members took fresh bread, and exposed it to several sources such as dirty hands, the floor, the wall, and let them all sit for a week. The results were as expected, and our hypothesis was correct: cleaning our hands DOES stop the spread of germs!

Once all the homework is done, the play can begin! Foosball and Pool are two of the Club favorites! #kipsbayboysandgirlsclub #kipsbaylearninglab #sonyc

Here are a couple of photos from a STEM class on Chromatography 101. Bleach, Soda, Vinegar, and other liquids were tested and the experiment was awesome! #kipsbayboysandgirlsclub #SONYC #kipsbaylearninglab
