Our Programmes
We facilitate skills training for learners through after school workshops, to identify and solve problems in their communities through the use of STEAMi research principles and innovation by applying business skills in creating value for their STEAMi based solutions.
This programme enables the learners to tap into their classroom concepts and apply the STEMi theory principles into solving real life problems, sparking an interest in associated careers.
Clubs support the learners by further enhancing their skill set through exposing them to coding, design and robotics training programs.
A concept programme designed for young people to test and apply the skills they have learnt in the programme through urban farming in the form of hydroponics and Innovation maker spaces.
The programme introduces careers in IT, engineering, farming, and digital arts, while also developing entrepreneurial and innovation skills.
Each and every one of our customers receives personalised assistance from our dedicated support team.
