Embark on a top-secret mission with Imagineerz as we collaborate with NASA to overcome cosmic challenges on our journey to Mars using innovative design thinking techniques!
Engaging, humorous video lessons maximize student engagement and simplify facilitation, making it easy for after-school or summer staff to run the program.
All staff needs to do is lay out the materials and play the video. Each video lesson runs for 90 minutes and has instruction, hands-on building time, classroom management, and even clean up built into it:
Imagineerz@School is a high-impact, easy-to-run curriculum that will elevate your ELOP program.
With minimal prep time, and self-sufficient video-based lessons, it’s a plug-and-play program that ensures both engagement and meaningful skill development.
Each lesson immerses students in an exciting, hands-on STEM challenge exploring engineering, biology, and physics.Â
Using design thinking, students brainstorm, build, and innovate—strengthening critical thinking and collaboration.
Each lesson also provides SEL language and tools that children can use to regulate emotions in the face of any obstacles they face as they build.
Students develop a growth mindset, problem-solving skills, and resilience – every challenge is an opportunity and every cereal box is a creative solution waiting to be built!!
Staff not credentialed? No problem!Â
Our engaging video lessons are self-sufficient making it easy for your ELOP staff to run Imagineerz activities.
