In today's world, coding and technological skills are more important than ever. Our classes introduce concepts in these fields at a young age so they're less likely to steer away from these subjects in school due to fear of failure.
Think you know the answer?!
"Kids aren't excluded from suffering from anxiety and stress.
It can be very difficult for a child to open up to their parents about issues at school - virtual or in person! More often than not, they may not understand why they are feeling this way and thus become more inclined to keep it to themselves."

If you could create a robot to perform any task for you, what task would you have it do for you?

Our programs encourage students to become interested in science and technology by showing them how FUN it can be to learn about these subjects!
From the entire Engineering For Kids family, we wish you a wonderful and safe holiday season!
"The Engineering Design Process is used in everything we do.
Think planning dinner for your family.
Picture this: it’s getting close to dinner time and you don’t have anything yet in the oven. You consult your pantry to see what you have left and plug your ingredients into an app that can help find recipes. You recognize some constraints, i.e. which recipes take too long and others you know your kids won’t eat. You choose something you hope will please most of your family, cook the meal and sit down for dinner. You discuss if it’s missing anything — your child suggests some extra seasoning. Then voila, it’s perfect!
Through this process you've asked, brainstormed, designed, built, tested, and received feedback for improvement!"
