Student Programs

Coding and programming are essential components of STEM education. In this workshop, students will enhance their understanding of programming logic, logical thinking, and problem-solving while applying mathematical and scientific concepts. From programming robots to designing video games and creating interactive websites, students develop computational thinking skills crucial for breaking down complex problems into manageable tasks through hands-on activities and teamwork.

Makeblock offers an engaging STEM exploratory workshop designed to capitalize on the rapid growth of robotics within the STEM educational landscape. The workshop combines graphical programming with the four core STEM subjects—science, technology, math, and engineering—to teach students how to build and control robots. The charming and easy-to-assemble mBots spark students’ interest in these subjects, while the ability to customize and control their actions enhances their enthusiasm and engagement in learning.

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform created for artists, designers, and hobbyists with minimal electrical engineering experience. Designed to expand students’ knowledge of Arduino components and the broader electronics and programming ecosystem, this workshop will explore basic electronics, working with various sensors, motors, lights, and more.

In Lego Robotics, students progressively build their strategic thinking skills through flowcharts, design thinking, and hands-on robotics. The workshop uses flowcharts to tackle everyday problems presented in class, helping students learn programming logic and understand how robotics can provide solutions. They then progress to building their robots step by step, learning to explore sensor and effector functions and programming their robots to process information, experiment, and tackle various challenges.

With Curiosity Machine, students explore mechanical and civil engineering as they engage in hands-on design challenges that provide practical experience. As they build their projects, students gain a deeper understanding of not just how things work but why they operate in a particular manner. This workshop encourages students to thrive through curiosity, creativity, and perseverance.

In this workshop, students will explore Makey Makey, an electronic tool that connects everyday objects to computer programs. Using a circuit board, alligator clips, and a USB cable, Makey Makey converts objects into keyboard strokes or mouse clicks, enabling interaction with any program or webpage. Students will enhance their creativity by designing projects that control computer content using everyday objects instead of traditional keyboards and mice.

In the Chemistry Lab workshop, students discover STAM chemistry experiments, labs, kits, and more. Our innovative, fun experiments use easily accessible materials, perfect for conducting at home, in the classroom, at camp, or for a science fair project.

In this workshop, students will learn the principles of game design, which are increasingly applied across various industries due to the rise of gamification. By studying game design concepts, students develop skills that are applicable across a broad range of STEM fields, including entertainment software.

The Science Discovery workshop engages students through hands-on experiments and investigations that explore scientific phenomena and principles, fostering curiosity and project-based learning. Students grasp basic scientific concepts, terms, and methods through engaging activities in fields such as geology, biology, agriculture, astronomy, and forensics.

This workshop consists of a set of twenty activities designed to teach computer science through interactive games and puzzles using simple materials like cards, string, and crayons. These activities introduce students to core computer science concepts without the distractions of technical details.

In this workshop, students improve their listening, speaking, and critical thinking skills by engaging with STEAM content like articles and videos. They will acquire effective communication techniques through formal presentations and peer interactions. This experience will make them more active, informed listeners and communicators and enhance their ability to deliver successful project-based presentations.

In this workshop, reading, writing, and communication skills are developed and practiced through realistic contexts that simulate both the academic classroom and international STEAM conferences. The workshop offers step-by-step instruction in reading and writing, with integrated grammar and vocabulary, covering various rhetorical forms. Presentation skills, including preparation and delivery techniques, are also introduced and practiced.
