Program accomplishments

  • Habitot's Mobile Museum - With over 50 events since 2021, the Mobile Museum Tour continued in 2025 with eight events in five East Bay cities, in both outdoor and indoor locations. Hands-on exhibits like the Waterworks water discovery experience, Magnetic Ball Run, Rocket Launcher, and Giant Blue Building Blocks demonstrated the engagement of children in learning through play. Maker stations for rocket building and boat building fostered imagination, invention, design, and testing in the exhibits. Sensory and art-making stations supported early childhood development as well as creativity. All events encouraged parent engagement and parent-child bonding. Events were free for EBT card families and offered on a sliding scale of $1-40 for others to make events broadly accessible. Locations were selected to reach underserved families. Twelve hundred participants attended these events.
    Expenses $96,672
  • Habitot-at-Home and Kit-based Programs for Families - Habitot continued to distribute its STEM, art, and play-based learning kits created during the pandemic for at-home use. The kits were available for purchase and grants covered the cost of kits distributed to low income and special needs families. Staff-led, how-to videos available through the YouTube channel were made available to guide parents in facilitating kit activities with their children, especially how to foster childrens learning of math and science concepts, language, and problem solving. In addition, our weekly Totmail e-newsletter delivered how-to instructions and material lists for at-home art and STEM activities to 3,500 households with a high open rate of 40-50%.
    Expenses $333
