PROJECT PLAYBOOK
One of our most successful programs is facilitating the installation of our signature STEAM Lab Makerspace in schools all around the world. Bringing physical activities into the classroom is a valuable tool, helping to bridge the theoretical with reality. And our labs facilitate learning through activities that are both robust and efficient.
But the physical reality of funding and on-boarding an entire lab can be too big a lift for some educators. So we decided to offer a whole book of STEAM activities for anyone interested in getting their student’s hands dirty!
The content is built on a foundation of working in STEAM Education for close to a decade in Los Angeles. We’re proven nonprofit pioneers in the SoCal Makerspace community and this book contains our best activities, as judged by ruthless Los Angeles students from elementary through high school!
Among our contributors is a LAUSD curriculum developer, so there’s definitely a solid educator perspective in our unique mix too.
BRICK PLAYBOOK – PARENT EDITION
When many engineers discuss their early engineering influences, it often comes back to the Lego-style bricks they used as a child. Beyond building their knowledge base, working with them stoked their creativity and drove his own educational development.
That’s what we’re aiming to accomplish with this playbook. We believe that there’s a place for step-by-step learning but that’s not what our focus is here.
Instead, we’re looking to tap into that magic that those engineers found in those private moments when they learned problem solving through trial and error. Rather than offering an ordered list of steps for children to follow, we’ve developed a whole collection of projects that give prompts and encouragement.
These nudges allow kids to thoroughly engage in that trial and error process where we believe the real learning can take place.
