We partner with schools around the world offering our services, which consist of personalized lesson plans, hands-on experiments and activities, and one-on-one tutoring, in hopes of spreading STEM knowledge through project-based learning.
Lesson Plans
All kids tend to learn differently, whether it be the pace of instruction, the execution (verbal vs. visual), or the content they are learning. In order to tackle this we use the help of presentations. With our personally created lesson plans, our volunteers are able to teach and discuss topics both verbally and visually, and the students can refer to these slides whenever, allowing them the freedom to fully absorb and understand the material.
Tutoring
In school, kids are given a very limited amount of time each class period to learn and understand all the material being taught. Not all kids learn at the same speed, and as a result may fall behind or fail to understand certain topics. We aim to solve this problem with tutoring. Our academic volunteers provide tutoring to the kids with not only topics we cover during our lesson, but also their schoolwork.
Hands-on Experiments/Activites
The bulk of our instruction consists of project-based learning, which is proven to be an effective type of academic instruction. We use hands-on experiments following each lesson in order to help our students understand the material through application. This allows kids to think about how these concepts apply in the real world, and inspire them to explore those fields further. For example, it might be hard for students to understand the force of friction. So we may perform an experiment testing which surfaces cars travel faster on to help the student see how friction works and applies in the real world.
