“When we engage in what we are naturally suited to do, our work takes on the quality of play, and it is the play that stimulates creativity.” - Linda Naiman Meet Annabelle, age 6, a student at Tinker Education; she is pursuing STEM education with computer science as an [...]
Are you a curious person? Do you like solving problems? If you do, you probably like STEM! Well, ten year old Rehema from Nova Pioneer, LOVES Social Studies. Since May 2018, she has been our student at Tinker Education, her curiosity about the world around her has influenced her [...]
Proud moment! A great pleasure for Tinker Education to be invited to Switch TV Full Circle with Joyce Omondi to discuss ‘Helping Children Embrace Technology through STEM Education’. This was a great platform to educate parents that technology, when introduced to children at an early age, can have a [...]
What a great pleasure for Tinker Education’s team to be invited as guest speakers at the Hillcrest International School’s Invention Convention Science Fair. We believe that young children have their own natural talents that should be supported and nurtured to bring life to their ideas for innovation. Kids are [...]
Etienne, age 10, goes to a French school. He is one of our best students, having passion for learning STEM education with computer science. He loves mathematics and, also, loves being able to interact with mathematics differently through coding. That is exciting for him. Tinker Education has been with [...]
Python + Micro:Bit = MicroPython !!! This term in Tinker Education’s intensive coding class, students are using Python Programming Language and Micro:Bit physical computing for invention. Last Saturday’s mission asked students to ‘make music using the micro:Bit’. The idea that you can use code to generate sound [...]
A micro:bit is a pocket-sized, open source hardware computer in which students code on the laptop and transfer to see live outcome. Did you know that you can code for your micro:bit to enable it to read the temperature and Compass (direction) of your surroundings? Check out how Tinker students [...]
WHO AM I? Reading and sharing stories are a great way to learn sounds, recognize words, and develop early literacy skills. Instead of writing a long composition, Tinker students use their imagination to tell their own story through coding. How? With Scratch block-based coding, students IMAGINE themselves [...]
Mathematicians seek and use patterns to formulate a new idea. They resolve the truth or falsity of speculations using the mathematical proof. This is why it’s important to equip our children at their young age with these mathematical concepts for problem solving ability. Our young learners use mathematics to [...]
At the end of every term, Tinker Education holds holiday bootcamps that allow for students in boarding school and those unable to join our term program* to come and experience our fun learning. Check out what students were up to during the Bootcamp. Junior Coding with Scratch JR Students [...]
