Educational Goals
As expected, your child will learn a range of STEM concepts and develop inquiry and design skills. Moreover, one of the strong points of pride at K2E is the focus on having children learn how to
- work with other children,
- develop responsibility,
- take initiative, and
- communicate their work.
K2E Approach
We have developed the K2E approach over several years. Some of the essential components are (1) relating science and engineering with everyday objects, (2) using exciting situations to grab the children's interest, (3) applying different approaches to match children's learning styles, (4) promoting persistence on tough problems, and (5) encouraging all the children to help each other. We wrap all these components in a "Design Challenge" for each session.
Design Challenges:
Each session has a different "Design Challenge" that the children work on over a 7 week period. The design challenge may be related to a Future Community, an Engineering Design, or a Technology investigation.
Some sample Future Communities are:
Some sample Engineering Design and Technology Investigations are:
