Our online sessions are 100% free because we believe in accesibility. Our organization’s mission is simple: remove age as an obstacle to learning. A part of this is making advanced topics accesible in a non-intimidating way. We accomplish this through each weekly session that provides intricate exploration of complex real-world themes and their applications and in an understandable way by incorporating virtual science experiments, activities, and comprehensive discussion. Our objective is to expand each member's access to knowledge and opportunities, whether they are a young kid or a senior citizen, and not to restrict it. In an ever-growing world, we aim to empower and inspire these future change-makers, action-takers, and STEAM enthusiasts because we genuinely believe that age is not a barrier to understanding.
​
*This is different from our first established program, Books & Cooks, as these meetings incorporate experiments instead of live-cooking. This club is taught by our Inspirers who are educated on ageism to transcend age as a factor in learning environments*
We encourage STEAM and introspective thinking conjuct to various topics outside the classroom by turning interest into action. We create new and distinctive insights by integrating literature with STEAM. We delve deeper into the complex topics that are outside the scope of the typical school curriculum, including the past, present, and potential future real-world applications of discussed topics.
By fusing literature and science, we promote interdisciplinary approaches and real-world connections that sustain learning, and lessen the difficulty of complex topics. Each science lesson is derived from a children's novel from which scientific principles are extracted and explored further in a way that is captivating, making STEAM learning fascinating and stimulative. By including virtual experiments, activities, and comprehensive discussion, each weekly club meeting delivers sophisticated, nuanced exposure to complicated real-world subjects and their applications in an intelligible manner. Our goal is to boost rather than impede each student's access to possibilities and learning. We sincerely believe that age is not a obstacle to knowledge, experience, and understanding, so we work to encourage and inspire these future leaders, multidisciplinary innovators, and visionary entrepreneurs. Since our prime belief is that high-level education should not be limited to a certain age, we impart diversified, robust, and sophisticated lessons, beyond our current world context, in a supportive manner that nurtures growth and fosters a love for learning through our five-week club meetings.
