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. Blox 3D world Blox 3D World Creator lets kids create beautiful worlds with simple taps, from giant windmills to craggy castles and desert islands teeming with life.
