Construct a hypothesis:\u00a0 A catchy name, topics of interest, intriguing activities, devoted staff and enthusiastic teen volunteers will create successful programming. Experiment:\u00a0 Offer KiDLS (pronounced \u201cKiddles\u201d\u009d for Kids in Deerfield Love Science).\u00a0\u00a0 First theme:\u00a0 \u201cOn Your Marks, Get Set, Go!\u201d\u009d\u00a0 (physics\/motion).\u00a0 Second theme:\u00a0 \u201cColor Your World\u201d\u009d (chromatics).\u00a0 Third theme:\u00a0 \u201cBlowin\u2019 in the Wind\u201d\u009d (nature\/wind). Data:\u00a0 My colleague, Noreen Trotsky, and I brainstormed a set of three stations for our first KiDLS program.\u00a0 We began as a group, children ages 5-9 and their parents, in our Youth Program Room to watch a Prezi about the...","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.alsc.ala.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Jonathan-and-Lukas-150x150.jpg"}
