Our program selection
Fablab in Education
Introduce design thinking and problem solving teaching strategies using digital fabrication tools while increasing student learning and engagement across core subject areas. This program guides schools in creating and implementing their own maker spaces on campus and helps tailor learning activities that cross core subject areas.
The Explainers
The Explainers Program has been the signature program of the San Francisco Exploratorium since 1969 and has been emulated in the leading museums in the USA Explainers are students, chosen for their enthusiasm, knowledge and diversity, who explain exhibits on the museum floor answering questions from thousands of visitors a year.
Technovation Challenge
Women are under-represented in entrepreneurship and technology. This international competition educates young women in mobile app development and inspires them to apply these skills in solving real problems within their respective communities.
Exploring Computer Science
The lack of socio-economic opportunities have been linked to the growing digital divide. This program was created by a partnership between schools and universities with the intent to democratize computer science education by increasing technology literacy and computational thinking instruction through a year-long course of study.
Virtual Robotics
No Robot, No Problem! Robot Virtual Worlds is a high-end simulation environment that enables students, without robots, to learn programming. Research has shown that learning to program in the manner is more efficient than learning to program using physical robots
MIT App Inventor
MIT App Inventor is a blocks-based programming tool that allows everyone, even novices, to start programming and build fully functional apps for Android devices. Newcomers to App Inventor can have their first app up and running in an hour or less! More complex apps can be programmed in significantly less time than with more traditional, text-based languages.
Internet Technologies and Web Development
Take your first steps in understanding Internet architecture and programming. Participants in this course will be introduced to basic Internet technologies that enable the exchange of data and the operation of web applications while reviewing common cyber security threats and system vulnerabilities related to Internet computing.
Engineering is Elementary
For the youngest learners, the Engineering is Elementary project offers hands-on, project-based engineering activities for classrooms and afterschool clubs. This award-winning, cross-disciplinary curriculum integrates engineering with the science topics already taught. Fun, engaging engineering challenges boost student interest in engineering. Standards-based, research-based, and teacher-tested!
Engineering by Design
Citizens of today must have a basic understanding of how technology affects their world and how they exist both within and around technology. The EbD™ Program is a model to be used by schools seeking to increase achievement in technology, science, mathematics, and English through authentic learning challenges.
Mindconnex programs are carefully selected and represent a great opportunity to construct shared learning experiences.
