Seminar: Are you Ready for the Next Wave of Innovation?
What will drive the future economic growth? What are the fields that would create new market trends? Want to stay ahead of the curve...Join this seminar to find out more.
Our unique value proposition:
Many kids are unable to make observations around themselves and turn the problems around them into ideas and opportunities. At Children’s Innovation Center we rekindle student’s curiosity, show kids how to make observations, conduct research, apply their acquired knowledge and skills, so students could confidently take on real-life problems and create sustainable solutions. In this process students are able to identify their own passion and potential, even gain knowledge about basic economics and market functions.
At Children's Innovation Center, we probe into the child’s interests, teach them methods and tools to formulate ideas and pursue potential opportunities. Children would gain confidence and courage to REACH FOR THEIR STAR!
