Facilitator, Maker Academy

What is Steamoji?

Steamoji is a maker academy that complements and enriches children’s school studies by exposing them to new technologies in fabrication, physical computing, engineering and digital arts while teaching them Steamoji soft-skills, such as design thinking, a growth mindset and entrepreneurship. With these foundational skills, students are then challenged with problems and encouraged to imagine, create, share and then improve their own solutions. For more information about the Steamoji™ brand, and how we help prepare children for the 21st-century careers of their future, visit steamoji.com.
