Information about Berkeley Heights, NJ
Fiserv is “Calling all Innovators, Dreamers and Creators” to be a part of this powerful afterschool program open to all Berkeley Heights and Watchung public school district students in grades 5–8. Selected students will learn through sessions with distinguished engineers and experts on-site at the Fiserv Innovation Center @ The Park in Berkeley Heights. Several dedicated teachers from both districts were chosen to co-teach and co-create the curriculum for this series in partnership with the engineers. Together, they have created an educational and engaging curriculum. We are excited for the winter session of this 11-week program kicking off in February.
