🌟 From Creative Spark to Real Engineering Thinking

In our recent STEM activity, students explored propulsion by designing their own propeller cars. A pair of students worked in sync to create an extended, double-propeller model. Teens put down their phones, observed others, and began iterating on their own designs. Younger students carefully assembled wheels and axles, developing fine motor control. Many used a glue gun for the first time—safely and confidently. Students who once felt hesitant about coding quickly picked up one line of syntax after another and realized it wasn’t so hard after all.

Throughout the process, students followed step-by-step instructions, asked thoughtful questions, and actively discussed their ideas with instructors—learning to troubleshoot, adapt, and improve their designs in real time.

👉 And these were just the warm-up.

Our upcoming STEM Workshop Series begins this Saturday and runs for 5 consecutive weeks. Each course features a longer, hands-on project that builds focus, creativity, and perseverance. Small-group instruction (max 8 students) ensures every child receives the support they need to succeed.
