About
Club Lab Rascals Virtual STEM Camp is a virtual STEM camp where children take part in hands-on labs such as creating rain clouds out of household items and building a balloon rocket. The labs are fully interactive, with no webinars, and children are able to ask questions and help throughout the lab. Each lab begins with an objective and a theme of the day, such as weather, biology, or aviation, and children work step-by-step alongside a team to complete a project of the day.
• Ages: 3–11 years old
In the labs, children create, laugh, and get a little messy while using household items for some activities. Classes are called labs instead of traditional classrooms or sessions, and the laboratories are described as perfect for exploration, experimentation, and discovery. Lab leaders provide structure and guidance while children are encouraged to complete projects in their own way.
Virtual STEM camps are hosted every month so that kids can develop a love for learning from anywhere in the world. Club Lab Rascals also offers afterschool STEM club meetings for kids throughout Maryland. The program focuses on providing a high quality experience and a challenging curriculum, with an emphasis on community for kids of color in STEM programs, where kids of color are surrounded with other young scholars like themselves.
Lab Rascals Founder and supermom, Tondalaya (Tee) Takapu, is an 18-year U.S. Airforce veteran and Cybersecurity Analyst. In 2019, Club Lab Rascals met for the very first time in Tee’s kitchen. Tee set out to close the opportunity gap, demystify and diversify the field of STEM, and to create an approachable, affordable, and accessible space for all children to get excited about learning so that children like her own sons would diversify the next generation of STEM professionals.
Parent feedback about the program includes comments such as, “My son is very excited...says he wants to go back every day! Thank you for all your work!” and “Thank you for blessing our little souls with your expertise, creativity, and organic love to pass the torch in STEM. You are a pillar in our community developing next-generation INVENTORS in a safe a kid-friendly space! I’m so glad my son gets to be a part of this. Thank you for this investment in his future.”
