CLOUT - Coalition for Learning Opportunities and United Tutors Program
An After-School Reading and Hands-On Science Program for Fourth Grade Students
The Coalition for Learning Opportunities and United Tutors (CLOUT) Program is a science literacy enhancement tool that assists fourth grade students from Denver area schools in raising their science reading skills. Volunteers provide "one-on-one" tutoring experience to students on a weekly basis throughout the school year.
The intent of CLOUT is to combine topical reading with related hands-on activities promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency to help improve student reading-comprehension and sustain their reading progress and interest.
Examples of CLOUT activities include:
- Electrolysis
- Potato Power
- Electromagnetism
- Fermentation
- Solar Ovens & Beads
- Wind Towers
