Kids confined to the hospital for weeks often lag academically - particularly in STEM
(science, technology, engineering, and math) subjects - and long periods of hospitalization can
lead to emotional isolation at a time when peer relashionships are critical.

MAKERplay is changing that - and you can help.
A program like the MAKERplay project would allow both child and caregiver an opportunity to focus on something other than their situation; best of all it stimulates creative thought and fosters learning at the same time.”
