Summary:
"The goal of the Engineering & Design Module is to teach kids to recognize challenges, turn them into opportunities, and identify scalable solutions to solve them. Topics in this module include puzzles, invention, construction, machines, architecture, curiosity. STEAM Academy offers an interdisciplinary approach that weaves together the science, technology, engineering, art, and math skills learned in the classroom and connects them to things kids see every day." Publisher description. High burger Become the best burger maker the world has ever seen, building the tallest burgers imaginable! The game starts out simple, but soon your burger skills will be tested as the burgers get higher and the game gets faster! Slide me out Move the marked block out of the board by sliding it over to the designated area. Unblock the piece as quickly as possible to earn 3 stars and move to the next level. Blox it - tower building game Build the tallest tower in the world! Tap the screen to release the blocks on top of each other and reach new levels! Tap tap builder Tap tap builder introduces kids to a city all their own. Work hard to plan, design, and build a city while keeping track of expenses. As the city gets bigger, there are more jobs and expenses to manage. Logic traces Improve your skills with logic traces! Connect lines from the numbers placed on the board to cover every square. Roll cool ball Tap and slide the tracks to complete the maze to guide the ball to the end! Three towers Click on the bricks to build successfully build the towers. Arrange the colored blocks in the colored brackets within the allotted amount of moves. Reky Fresh technical drawing aesthetics meet elegantly designed logic challenges in this minimalist puzzle title with just a dash of color. Roller skates, baking, bamboo, books, bridges, calendar, calligraphy Roller skates, baking, bamboo, books, bridges, calendar, calligraphy. Find out about the inner workings and origins of the things that pique your curiosity. Roller skates : roller skates are basically wheels attached to shoes. Sometimes the wheels themselves are built under the soles while other designs allow them to be detachable from the shoes Baking : baking is a method of cooking that uses prolonged dry heat where food is usually placed in an oven, causes dough or batter to develop a firm dry crust and a softer center which produces what we call baked goods such as tarts, cakes, and custards.
