Clever Crazes
Clever Crazes for Kids® brings to homes, classrooms, and after-school programs across the country, new and exciting ways to engage kids in learning about STEM (how Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics are integrated into their everyday lives). Now CCK has added Arts (turning STEM into STEAM) to demonstrate how visual arts, dance, and music interact with the other aspects of their lives. All of this is part of the interconnected web of wellness—healthy planet, healthy relationships, and healthy individuals. Strong minds are built on healthy and energetic bodies. Reducing the incidence of childhood obesity will result in children who are better learners in school and who, as adults, will have a lower incidence of heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers, depression, and other diseases that impact their health, their future careers, and our economy.
