SHIELD The Kids (STK) is a non-profit organization dedicated to education about such things as methamphetamine, child predators, workplace violence and other safety topics. STK’s unique approach is what sets us apart from other programs. The STK program uses the latest in 3-D technologies to communicate facts about drug and safety awareness in a way that engages the attention of the students while at the same time increasing their participation and knowledge retention. Studies suggest that students learn faster and retain more of what they are taught through the use of animation.
