Preparing the Next Generation
With the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicting a sharp increase of jobs in science, technology, engineering, and math, there is a critical need to get the next generation of students and workers ready to step into those roles. Play is the work of childhood and toys have the power to shape valuable life skills to prepare kids for these jobs that may not even exist yet. Problem-based play and spacial learning inspires kids to learn and grow to become whatever they want.
What is STEAM?
Often when people think of STEM, they only think of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, but engineers have to get creative in their projects along with the math and applied science they use. Art and creativity (the "A" in STEAM) is a huge part of what engineers do every day. Engineers take a problem, visualize it, and then build it. This is the same process that children use when they are building with Brackitz. Brackitz helps kids create, learn, and grow by facilitating their creativity through building.
