What is the Kids Love Tech in School Workshop?
Based on the Ontario Curriculum, Kids Love Tech programs help teachers bring to life the mathematical and scientific concepts in the classroom by supplementing these topics with experiments and project building. Rather than teachers planning field trips, our in-school workshops allow students to have some fun while being in the classroom. Kids are always enthusiastic when routines are interspersed with fun activities; it's what makes learning fun. Kids Love Tech brings excitement through learning about robots and electronics. Teachers will find it easy to integrate these lessons into their teaching units. Our pricing is reasonable and can easily fit into your budget.
Communication skills are emphasized as students are expected to describe what they are doing by using the terminology associated with specific scientific and technological concepts.
Kids Love Tech workshops use tangible materials, which help teachers provide many thought provoking hands-on activities. Our goal is to motivate students and encourage life long learning. Kids Love Tech workshops help students recognize that science and technology is not just school subjects but fields of knowledge that affect their lives, their communities, and the world.
