Kites for Kids 2021

Please join Carnegie Science Center and KidsVoice for a morning of family-friendly crafting and fun! Together, we will make two flight-themed crafts: a Snake Whirligig and Floating Ball Craft.

The virtual event will be held directly on Carnegie Science Center's Facebook page. It will last about a half hour. A recording with closed captioning will also be available after the event's conclusion.

Get together your supplies in advance to follow along! You can download a PDF of the supply lists and instructions HERE and join the Facebook event page HERE.

Thank you to Carnegie Science Center for putting together this wonderful, accessible virtual event in support of KidsVoice. 

The event would not be possible without our generous sponsors. Kites for Kids is presented by UPMC Health Plan, UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, and CCBH (Community Care Behavioral Health). Sponsors include Highmark and Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, PC. For a full list of sponsors, please see below.

What is Kites for Kids?

Kites for Kids allows our clients—children and youth in Allegheny County who are in the foster care system—to anonymously have a fun day learning and exploring at Carnegie Science Center alongside the community at large. Kites designed by our clients decorate the lobby and special games and activities presented by KidsVoice and our sponsors add a bit of extra fun.

Over the years, Kites for Kids has welcomed thousands of families from Allegheny County and beyond to the Carnegie Science Center to raise awareness and much-needed resources to protect our most vulnerable citizens—abused and neglected children. We look forward to the day we can all meet in person again.

Why kites?

Kites symbolize the potential for a child to soar and a hope for a world full of happy childhoods.
