We teach our students…
- Strategic Innovation, beginning in the Elementary Grades, with building on a culture of curiosity
- Engineering Education in an Elementary & Middle School STEM and Design Lab with continually re-purposing robotics systems, electronic components, and the like, involving the design of interactive structures & smart robots programmed with sensors and actuators
- Physical Computing – robotics & engineering – providing a tactile context for programming/coding – with designing & debugging taking two forms: hardware and software
- Design Thinking & Prototyping implementing Iterative Development & Testing
- Project-Based Learning in an authentic context of real world, problem-solving with building 21st century skills and, with ultimately developing the capacity of young learners to become global innovators and leaders!
And, we teach teachers…
Implementing a real world, Engineering Education program beginning in the early elementary grades has yielded remarkable results with effectively developing STEM fluency, design thinking, and strategic innovation. That’s why we also offer hands-on, Teacher Training / Professional Development for Elementary & Middle School Faculty – equipping teachers with proven instructional strategies, effective classroom management techniques, and efficient equipment & materials organization essential to comprehensive project/problem-based learning utilizing high-end technology and electronic components in today’s classrooms of energetic and diverse students.
Equally important, we advocate the urgency of building STEM fluency in the early elementary grades with sustaining interest along with, building competency in the STEM disciplines, as students progress on to their middle and high school years. It is in this real world learning context that young students make relevant content area connections solving for the common disconnect they otherwise express about why they are learning what they are learning…
We develop the capacity of young people to become global innovators and leaders…
