Sense-Making is the Core of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)

Playnovate's STEAM way of learning empowers every child with a sense of wonder, cultivates an analytical mindset and a zest for trying out creative possibilities through applications of science and engineering practices.

Each lesson is a building block to understanding the complex world and the interrelationships of STEAM.

· Inquiry-based learning

· Simulations, models, and prototypes

· Formulate evidence-based solutions

· Real-world applications

Children learn like scientists-engineers-designer-innovators.

· Discover and explore to problem-solve.

· Understand problems in context.

· Envision multiple solutions

· Cultivate systems thinking.

· Intersect STEAM fields as framework to problem-solving.

Children learn from each other as they practice design thinking and develop scientifically grounded creative solutions.
Lessons are designed with thoughtful consideration of age developmental levels, guided by neuroscience studies on how children learn, and by the learning sciences.
Each student is acknowledged as unique in abilities, and full of potential.
