After School Clubs
At Miami Maker Kids our programs consist of analog classes and activities that offer a balance to the digital overload children frequently experience with their computers, tablets, smartphones and video games.
Most of our classes and activities engage students in the engineering design process: imagine, design, build, test, improve, re-build, re-test . . . .
For example, in our rocket-building classes, students design, build and launch several prototypes in order to discover which of the many variables (e.g., body length, fin size, weight distribution, etc.) most influence a rocket's flight.
We teach students how to work with tools they may have never seen, touched or used before and how to engage their imaginations with some common found materials to make some uncommonly creative projects.
In our classes and activities, students develop intellectual, emotional, social and ethical skills that are essential to success in the 21st Century.
