THE LAB: Extracurriculars
Boys Lab will partner with the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, Inc., and a local STEM program provider, in efforts to offer two high-quality after-school programs for BL Scholars.
After-school Programs are Important
After-school programs benefit children in a variety of ways. Children can develop time-management skills, build self-esteem, form strong and healthy relationships with peers and coaches/facilitators. Most importantly, research shows that scholars who regularly participate in after-school programming surpassed their peers in academic performance.
Academic Tutoring
Boys Lab will host academic tutoring & homework hour for scholars who need extra assistance in reading and math.

Chicago Kings Young Engineers
Boys Lab will partner with a dynamic Chicago-based STEM Program to expose scholars to Engineering, Robotics, and Technology Invention (Coding).
It's more than just a fun after-school program. STEM provides opportunities for scholars to engage in critical thinking skills within the four disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). Our scholars must prepare to succeed in today's technological society, understanding that many career paths are shifting towards STEM-related fields.
