Light up Learning Today

Engineering 4 Little Hands provides the opportunity for trial and error learning and real-world application. The 4-8 year-old will use blueprints, a customized miter box with hobby saw and sustainable basswood strips to analyze, compare, create and compose squares, rectangles and triangles. The fun continues with 4 wood vehicle bases. Children apply their understanding of geometry, engineering and woodworking to build a truck, helicopter, airplane and sailboat! Measure! Saw! Assemble! Glue! There is REAL work to be done!

Hands 4 Building provides the opportunity for trial and error learning with real tools, real blueprints and sustainable basswood sticks and strips. Students build their own model parts 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.

Snap circuits provides durable hands on projects that teach young children the basics of electrical engineering. When engaging in circuit design, learners develop a strong foundation in electrical engineering and physics. They apply mathematical concepts to calculate resistances, voltages, and currents, fostering mathematical reasoning. Problem-solving skills are honed as students troubleshoot and optimize circuits for desired functionalities. The hands-on nature of building circuits enhances spatial reasoning and coordination, while the integration of programming in some cases nurtures computational thinking

Edison robotics  nurtures creativity in the field of robotic design. 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.
