Light up Learning Today

Young students catch on quickly and easily to the basic principles of robotic movement and programming through fun  engaging  projects using the simple yet versatile  Edison robot. Using Edblocks design for students up to age 8, students work on games, creative program design and use lego and other materials to build on their Edison robots. In this way, the students

develop problem-solving abilities and  gain a basic understanding of engineering concepts, mechanics, electronics, and programming. Social skills are fostered through group projects, enhancing communication and teamwork. 

Hands 4 Building provides the materials, real tools, real blueprints and sustainable basswood sticks and strips to create real-world structures. Students  develop mathematical and engineering skills as they measure and plan the dimensions of the house. Understanding architectural principles, they apply geometry and physics concepts during construction. The process also enhances problem-solving abilities as builders encounter challenges in design and structure. Introducing basic electrical components for lighting or automation adds an element of technology to the project, fostering skills in electronics. 

Scratch animation enables users to create interactive stories, games, and animations. Through the process of designing and coding these projects, learners develop computational thinking by breaking down problems into smaller steps, enhance logical reasoning as they sequence commands, and gain a foundational understanding of coding concepts. Students create their own games to show and share with others.

Stop animation involves capturing a series of still images to create the illusion of motion when played in sequence. Kids have a blast working together to create their own movie using clay, Legos and other creative materials. Stop animation promotes  patience and attention to detail. Problem-solving skills are honed as they experiment with different movements and transitions. Stop animation encourages creativity, storytelling, and planning, as students conceptualize and execute their narratives through the careful arrangement of frames through plots and storyboards.

Electrical Engineering basics are covered when students learn with various kits how to assemble  moving robots, and electrical robotic cars kits that contain ultrasonic obstacle avoidance, programmable distance measurement parts, electronic components with motherboards,

Students apply mathematical concepts to calculate resistances, voltages, and currents, fostering mathematical reasoning. The hands-on nature of building circuits enhances spatial reasoning and coordination which nurtures computational thinking

Edison robotics  nurtures creativity in the field of robotic design using Ed Scratch for students older than 8. Students engaging in Edison robotics develop problem-solving abilities as they design and troubleshoot their robots. They gain a practical understanding of engineering concepts, honing skills in mechanics, electronics, and programming. The integration of Edison encourages critical thinking as students analyze challenges and iterate on their designs. Social life collaborative skills are fostered through group projects, enhancing communication and teamwork.
