The Engage Learning STEM Maker summer curriculum is structured to provide upper elementary and beyond with hands-on STEM experience over the course of fifteen hours of guided activities. Utilizing Squishy Circuits, Snap Circuits, TinkerCAD, Makey Makey and Scratch, students develop a deeper understanding of electricity, circuits, 3D design, and computer programming. Engage's Distance Learning team delivers real-time STEAM experiences using hands-on discovery tools.
Using TinkerCAD, students put into practice the distinction between 2D and 3D forms as they model a unique figurine of their own design. Learning objectives include design fundamentals, geometric form, and 3D conceptualization. By building circuits of their very own, students develop a strong understanding of the foundations of electricity and the components required for a functional circuit. Learning objectives include the scientific method, conductivity, and prototyping. With the application of Scratch, MIT Media Lab's block-coding language, students discover the principles and structure of computer programming as they design their own personalized video game. Learning objectives include problem solving, computational thinking, and creative expression.
