Introduction

CIO Maker School makes technical stuff easy and fun for students 7-12 years old! CIO’s teaching method is based on the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) approach. We focus on helping students to learn how to solve problems through project work.

The CIO teaching team is a group of optimistic, empathetic and passionate professionals who specialize in “digital maker” education for children. The goal of CIO (Creativity and Innovation Optimist) is to provide educational projects that benefit society and the environment. Through "design thinking", "hands-on activities" and "experience sharing," everyone can realize their potential to design, and create original solutions to build a better world.

Program Highlights:

• Logical analysis: Develop observation and problem solving skills by collaborating with peers to work through different challenges.

• Design thinking: Learn to solve problems through creative design and using different tools and materials to develop solutions.

• Story-telling: Learn to think thoroughly and share design concepts through active story-telling.
