Squiggle Labs Information

Our purpose is to let children try as many different roles and skills to help them decide where they fit best and be as good at being themselves as they can. We don't want to try to turn everyone into a computer programmer, or an engineer, or a designer, or even an inventor, but we want everyone to try these different roles and skill sets to see which parts they like the best, what their individual strengths and interests are, and how to improve them further. Each student is different, with unique personalities, dreams, and desires; we provide opportunities to channel that originality in group workshops to bring out the best in everyone. Our workshops focus on skills that will be needed most in the future - and expose students to a lot of different activities and skills to help them find the things they enjoy the most. Junior Makers try their hands on a lot of different activities combining construction, design, art, and technology to expose them to these different concepts and allow them to pick the things they like. Maker activities are more focused on specific interest areas: robotics, machines and structures, electronics, science experiments, and art with technology. The ultimate goal is to turn select makers into innovators -give them enough confidence, inspiration, and guidance to start solving problems not only for themselves but for others.
