Registration for the Ignite Program Starts Friday, Oct. 26

The Ignite Program provides an opportunity for youngsters to experience a college campus and take fun, educational classes taught by Grinnell College students. Ignite aims to foster curiosity and expose children to subject areas outside the realm of traditional elementary school classes. Previous Ignite courses include Physics of Paper Planes; Paint it, Picasso; and Slimed: Intro to Pollution. Each child attends two courses, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Every registered student will receive a free t-shirt, lunch and snacks. Enrollment is limited to 15 students per course.
