Learning to be an Innovator
STEM Plus workshop: A unique workshop for Grade 4-12 students that teaches the new nature inspired methodologies and principles for Systems/Solutions Design Thinking and the Art of Sustainable Innovation, the much needed “STEM Plus” skillsets for the 21st century!
What is STEM Plus? This advanced interdisciplinary workshop equips the students with knowledge and practice to go beyond the existing subject-matters and prepares them on the path with the ability to make new scientific and engineering discoveries.
Digital Story Telling
A workshop that offers infinite creativity opportunities for students in grades 4 - 12.
“Research on the human brain has shown it is predisposed to think in the terms of a story. This predisposition is continuously reinforced and strengthened throughout the life of your brain. Not only can you program your mind with a story — you can program someone else’s mind.” ― Isaiah Hankel, Author of Black Hole Focus: How Intelligent People Can Create a Powerful Purpose for Their Lives
Public Speaking & Communications
A workshop to equip professional skills to our next generation of socially responsible leaders and change-makers.
“The secret of CHANGE is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new” - Socrates
Analytical Writer
In this workshop students will exercise and develop their analytical skills, and learn to articulate their analytical reasoning in the form of effective blog writing.
“Take the perspective of a journalist or scientist. Really study what's around you. What are people wearing, what do the interiors of buildings look like, what noises do you hear? If you bring your analytical powers to bear, you can make almost anything interesting.” - Gretchen Rubin
Naturalist Designer
This workshop helps students to observe nature’s forms and designs through the mathematical lenses. This culmination of Art and Math is an essential interdisciplinary skill for any Designer.
“Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.” — Charles Eames
Cyber Security Awareness
This seminar provides an overview of the threats in the Cyber Space, types of cyber-attacks, risks, and mitigations. Content appropriate for K-12 students.
Aimed at equipping students with the ability to distinguish dangers and make safer choices, promote responsibility and good citizenship in Cyber Space.
Computer Programming courses
Hands on Python programming
This program is designed for a fresh beginner who is interested to learn basic programming skills using python. This course provides an easy to learn course backed up by fun-to-do exercises and a mini-project at the end of the course.
Python programming skills are in a huge demand across the industries. Google and YouTube are two famous Python-built applications. The recent rise of python can be connected to the rise of interest in data science and artificial intelligence. Sign up and start programming today!
Coming Soon in September 2018
Big Data, Robotics, and IoT courses
Building Robotic Hand
Students will explore anatomy and biomechanics of human hand. They will build Robotic Hand and visualize data in MS Excel to generate new ideas for improving it’s performance.
Human Impact on Water Quality
Students will build a sensor and use it to measure Electrical Conductivity & determine if water sample was impacted by human activity. Science and Engineering working together to protect precious resources.
Coming in Fall 2018
Understanding Earthquakes
Students build a seismograph to visualize earthquake data and explore modern engineering techniques used to mitigate earthquake damage. Then, they engage in a MS Excel big data activity to understand plate tectonics.
Coming in Fall 2018
Electrical Energy to Communicate
Students will learn how to use electrical energy in communications. Exploring the original Morse code invention with a modern IoT computational twist.
Coming in Fall 2018
All our programs and courses are after-school activities.
- Evening / weekend classes
- Camps during summer/winter/spring school breaks
Our unique value proposition:
Many kids are unable to make observations around themselves and turn the problems around them into ideas and opportunities. We show kids how to make observation, conduct research, apply their acquired knowledge, identify their own passion and potential, understand basic economy and market functions, support and encourage students to confidently take on real-life problems and create sustainable solutions.
We are the only institution that probes into the child’s interests (STEM or non-STEM), teach them methods and tools to formulate ideas and pursue potential opportunities. Children would gain confidence and courage to REACH FOR THEIR STAR!
Youth Leadership Program
Exclusive Youth Leadership coaching and opportunities, along with Community Service credits!
A Center Focused on Sustainable Innovation
Join us in our efforts to create an Environmentally Sustainable world, which has a balance between Societal Needs, Economic Growth, and Environmental Sustainability.
