y4{ Exhibit A Discovery Cube Orange County Revised Scope of Work Discovery Cube Orange County (DCOC) gratefully thanks the Revive Santa Ana Youth Program for the generous one-year reimbursement grant of $90,028 for our program titled Fun with Colors and Futuros Radiantes: Providing a STEMEducation to Early Learners in Santa Ana. We look forward to implementing our project during the 12-month period of July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023. The only change from the two-year to the one-year grant is that number of early learners we will reach will be reduced by half. With the one-year RFP grant, we expect to positively impact 510 to 660 early learners (0 to 5 years old) from 12 Santa Ana schools through Fun with Colors and 30 to 60 teachers and parents through Futuros Radiantes. The content of the program remains consistent with the Scope of Work presented in our original RFP application. Included with the Scope of Work is the Revised Budget, which delineates the budget for a one- year project. DCOC's program includes two services that provide underserved early learners in Santa Ana with their earliest STEM education to foster their lifelong interest in science and mathematics. The two programs we will implement are Fun with Colors and Futuros Radiantes, Fun with Colors is an ongoing early learner interactive science field trip program. This workshop includes a 45-minute workshop with a Demonstrator who reads a 20-minute book, Mouse Paint, by Ellen Stoll Walsh to the children. The book reading will be followed by a 25-minute interactive activity, whereby children create a color wheel using balls of dough. Field Trip scheduling staff will work directly with teachers to ensure the programming is scaffolding classroom work and objectives that align with NGSS. DCOC education staff is agile and can customize the field trip experience to meet the needs of each teacher at identified school sites. Therefore, all field trip content will be age and learning appropriate to accommodate preschool through 1st -grade students. The aim of Fun with Colors is to teach color theory to young children as a part of their earliest STEM education. A Demonstrator will explain that the concepts to be learned are a part of the Preschool Learning Foundations. The Demonstrator will then state that the demonstration will focus on the color wheel and mixing and introduces Mouse Paint. She will ask questions about the cover to encourage students to make observations and form predictions about the book. Questions include: What do you think this story is about? What can you see on the cover? How many colors do you see? What colors are they? Futuros Radiantes is DCOCs award -winning, successful, early learners program designed to teach economically disadvantaged, minority parents to read books geared toward STEM to their young children. The parents and teachers of young children for this workshop are typically English as a Second Language (ESL) learners. Futuros Radiantes is a six -week workshop in which participating parents and teachers receive one free science -based children's book per week. They will also receive supplies to bring science and math activities into the home. During the workshop, parents and teachers will learn to help their child become school -ready and develop complex language and reading skills in English and Spanish. Parents and teachers who complete the program receive free admission tickets for their families to visit Discovery Cube. The deliverables for Fun with Colors are that young children will learn to identify primary and secondary colors. They will learn that mixing two primary colors results in a secondary color. 20
