Launched in 2016, SPIN Enrich is a suite of after school and summer programs offered free to first through eighth grade students throughout King County.
Traditionally, programs have been offered in partnership with community organizations, agencies, and school districts. Year after year, the demand has far outstripped SPIN’s capacity. In 2020, with local schools transitioning to remote learning, SPIN began offering virtual Enrich programs directly to students and parents. A three-week summer math camp filled overnight and the families and students we have served have overwhelmingly asked for more programming.
In the coming years, SPIN will continue to grow our free virtual classes, expand to offer high school programming, and seek to build a MakerSpace with classrooms for in-person instruction.
Engaging and fun programming that enriches students’ academic experience.
SPIN Enrich teaches STEM concepts in supportive learning environments, focused on culturally relevant instruction. Our classes nurture curiosity, craftsmanship, and ingenuity to build confidence, making STEM approachable and accessible to our region’s most diverse communities. Sessions are hands-on allowing students to experience and learn from cutting-edge equipment and technology used throughout the STEM industry. Students have built solar ovens & wearable technology and done experiential outdoor activities.
