Summary:
The goal of the Technology & Space Module is to build kids' fascination with the solutions of tomorrow and get them excited to look beyond the world they see today. Topics in this module include mechanics, astronomy, robotics, coding, communication. 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. Enjoy pure fun with these puzzles with content that will challenge the brain at the same time! The strategy of puzzle solving combined with the elements of education in learning about the solar system! A beautiful stargazing and educational exploration of over 200,000 celestial bodies, with extensive information about planets, stars, satellites, and constellations.

From the ingenious invention of integrated circuits to the revolutionary Intel 4004 microprocessor, this remarkable technological wonder, which serves as the brains behind our computers and devices, revolutionised the way we live and interact with technology. From the groundbreaking discoveries of Hans rsted and the visionary contributions of Nikola Tesla, invention of the electric motor transformed the world, propelling us into an era of powerful machines, sustainable transportation, and the electrification of our daily lives. From steam-powered lifts to Elisha Graves Otis' groundbreaking safety hoist in the 1850s, the invention of electric elevators revolutionized vertical mobility, giving rise to soaring skyscrapers and reshaping city skylines. The steam engine was the driving force behind the machines that powered the Industrial Revolution. But it took some experimentation to get it just right. Let's take a look at how it works and how it changed the world. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11's Moon landing, we highlight Margaret Hamilton and the contributions she made towards the first human landing on the moon.
