Design ThinkingBring out your child's creativity and experimentation by leading them through Design Thinking activities. You'll be helping them develop Empathy, Visualization, Prototyping, Iteration, and other essential skills to build their confidence and unleash their ingenuity. Go to Design Thinking activity recipes
Systems ThinkingHow do we make the world a better place? If you teach your kid the basics of Systems Thinking, you can help them understand complexity, cause and effect, and dynamics of the systems we live in. You'll help them understand Behavior Loops, Patterns, Diagrams, and other key tools to understand systems Go to Systems Thinking activity recipes
STEM Through Mindsets
Raising a child to be STEM-smart is not just about teaching them rules and vocabulary to memorize. It’s about instilling fundamental mindsets that make them into creative, scientific problem-solvers.
STEM Family focuses on 3 core mindsets: Design Thinking, Computational Thinking, and Systems Thinking.
