When science comes together with math, engineering and technology using our 4 dimensional learning system, magic happens! The individual silos of STEM become alive focused on solving real world challenges. Participants experience many “Ahas” of integrating the silos of knowledge.
The child is encouraged to explore and develop social and interpersonal skills, and active thinking. Life and career readiness, after all, needs our children well-rounded and equipped with knowledge and social and emotional learning (SEL).
