General Description
MIT kids is a pioneering S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) lab for preschool and school-age children. They offer STEAM classes at their premises in Psychiko, as well as in schools and organizations. Their goal is to spread STEAM education, giving as many children as possible the opportunity to learn about Educational Technology, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Experiments and Mechanisms. STEAM classes for children ages 3.5-12 consist of students learning how to do experiments, automation, robotics and engineering. They are also happy to offer their spaces for STEAM-themed parties and events. Finally, they also deliver online classes for those children or adults who live far from Athens.
Activities
MIT kids offers the following activities :
- STEAM Party : 21st century skills through STEAM are available for our young scientists, even on their birthday! Dear parents, every Saturday you can book their space for your children's party. Balloons, musical and movement games, cake, experiments and robotics combine to create a unique experience for kids and adults alike!
- Summer Camp : The summer program for the students of the workshop in Psychiko will be posted in the coming months,
- Lessons for preschoolers and toddlers : Even children as young as 3-5 years old are engaged in experiments and educational robotics. This age is critical as children develop a range of important skills. These include the ability to solve problems, enhance imagination, initiative, patience and perseverance,
- Lessons for children in Grade 1 : Advanced LEGO projects were carried out during robotics lessons! Dual motor cars were programmed to traverse challenging courses, while mechanical spinners were launched and spun in spectacular fashion,
- Lessons for 2nd graders : 2nd graders learned to write code using Minecraft: Education Edition. This is a game-based educational environment through which children learn to build, create, explore the STEAM realms, and program,
- Courses for children from 3rd to 6th grade : This is a carefully designed programme, adapted to the ages of the children it is aimed at. Its aim is to cultivate attitudes and values that will accompany them throughout their lives, regardless of the career path they choose in the future,
- Morning Toddlers' Group : MIT Kids also offers a morning bilingual class for children aged 2-3 years old. The program includes activities such as messy play, crafts, music and movement, symbolic play, crafts and experiments,
- Saturdays at Psychic : The idea for Saturday classes was born when students expressed a desire to spend more time in the lab doing experiments and robotics. Thus, a day dedicated to free and fun experimentation with robotics was established,
- Partnerships with schools : The opportunity to live the S.T.E.A.M. experience from the MIT kids team is available to schools in Attica. Framing the theme of each school with a robotics, engineering and automation lab. School visits are also conducted at our site.
