Engage, Create, and Inspire: Bring STEM/STEAM to Your Club or Classroom!
4-day after school classes, held right in your school. We bring the technology and the kids bring the enthusiasm. Students sign up for a 4 day schedule of classes for $99.00. Proceeds are split 50/50, so if 20 students attend a $1000 is raised for the cause. You could also choose to skip the fundraising and simply have us bring this fun, educational series of classes to your youth group or school at half the price it costs at our Sylvan Learning Center.
Imagine the excitement of classes where students can engage their curiosity and learn about, game coding, 3D printing, digital art, or animation. We can turn this vision into reality!
Don't worry we have many lessons available in each category so students who have attended our classes before can always do something new.
Day 1. 3D Printing and CAD Design.
Students Learn how to use a full-featured CAD program to design a 3D object. The students work is then printed on our 3D printers. The completed works are then given to the students on one of the following days for them to keep.
Day 2. Game Coding in Scratch.
Students make a game in Scratch learning about programming structures along the way. Students get to keep the game they make which we will make playable on any device that supports a browser.
Day 3. Digital Art and Animation.
Students learn about SVG graphics and how to draw using digital tools and a computer mouse. They will then learn how to take the drawing they have created and bring it to life in animation software.
Day 4. Collaborating in an encyclopedic 3D Voxel Crafting and Mining world.
We have created a customized Crafting and Mining world for kids to learn through exploration. Touching an object reveals an encyclopedia entry with real-life 
information about its origin, uses, and potential products.
For example:
Sand, the world's most mined commodity, is primarily composed of hard materials such as quartz, chert, igneous rock, and shell fragments. These tough particles, rated 7 or higher on the hardness scale, survive the breakdown of rocks.
The crafting recipes for sand show how sand at high heat can be turned into glass. That silica found within sand can be made into silicon and many more.
Our unique instructional system, complete with computers and kits, can engage up to 30 students at a time, ensuring they are entertained and enlightened in sessions lasting 90 minutes. Have more students? No problem, we'll run additional sessions to accommodate everyone.
In today's digital age, it's crucial that youth learn to create, control, and program technology rather than just consume it. Our variety of technology categories includes:
- Collaborate in Educational Voxel Based 3D Worlds.
- Robotics with Lego™
- Game coding with Scratch™ and Python™
- 3D printing and CAD design
- Digital art and animation
- Or try a variety over the 4 days.
A Fund Raising addition that fits in well with you existing fundraising options.
Our pricing is straightforward: $99.00 per student to sign up. Which is split 50/50. The number of students can vary from a minimum of 15 to a maximum of 60.
-
Example 1: If 15 to 30 students sign up:
- Can be hosted together in 4 consecutively scheduled, 90 minutes technology/STEAM sessions:
- 15 Students will raise $750 for your cause, 30 Students, $1500.00
-
Example 2: 30+ to 60 students sign up:
- Will be hosted in two banks of time on the same days one earlier 90 minute session followed by the second separated by a 1/2 hour break.
- 60 students would earn $3000.00 for your cause.
- Will be hosted in two banks of time on the same days one earlier 90 minute session followed by the second separated by a 1/2 hour break.
