Learning materials

Our inspiration has been CDIO-model which has been developed in engineering education in MIT. CDIO stands for conceive-design-implement-operate. Each of our lessons starts with theory of the subject, then children design their own creation, implement it and then test and operate with it. This model applies to sciences, robotics and programming. Creativity, problem-solving through trial and error, playfulness and imagination are the key aspects here to gain deeper learning.
Our curriculum and lesson plans are aligned with the major IT-, science and computer science curricula. We focus on long-term and target-oriented learning. We have all together 16 academic years of lesson plans available for STEAM education.
