Preparing Students for The Future
Discover the MakeInspires Skill Galaxy
At MakeInspires, we believe every child’s learning journey is unique.
The Skill Galaxy invites students to explore, connect skills, and grow. As they complete classes, they’ll fill in the stars, lighting up their galaxy and unlocking new possibilities. Let your child shine as they chart their adventure through MakeInspires' exciting universe of discovery!
The best way for kids to learn science is by doing real science hands-on. Doing science isn’t just for scientists and engineers. Rather it’s a way of learning about the world that comes naturally for kids!
Technology enables creativity and deepens students' understanding of difficult concepts.
How do things work? Exploratory learning with engineering gives kids real world experience and knowledge.
The addition of Arts is about incorporating creative thinking and applied arts in real situations. Art isn’t just about working in a studio. Art is about discovering and creating ingenious ways of problem solving, integrating principles and presenting information.
Learning mathematics is an important part of a student’s journey. Hands on use of numbers through coding, CAD, arts and more enables students to enjoy this important skill.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
It’s like going to Disneyland! :)
We have had such a great experience at MakeInspires! My school-aged kids have taken several classes over the past 9 months and have learned so much during this time. Our previous experience with after-school STEM was generally positive, but my kids never came home ready to discuss projects and continue coding the way they do after sessions here. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and thankfully, FUN! The space is clean and well-organized which makes it easy for the students to jump right into projects upon arrival. My kids talk about class and strategize next steps from the minute they leave until the time they return. We absolutely love it here!
My son loves your program.
I truly appreciate you!!!
Excellent program for kids.. extremely professionally run, focused on education and fun. There is only one issue: the kids might love it too much and ask for going back more and more... that could be labeled either as a parental challenge or very well delivered service, or is it both?! :) I'll deal with the parental challenge and congratulate MakeInspires for doing an amazing job!
MakeInspires has become my son's home away from home. Not only is he learning high-tech skills in a fun environment, he's forming a community with his fellow students and instructors. The educational approach MakeInspires uses is how my son learns best, and I can't help but think this is the way all kids will learn in the future. Highly recommend.
Absolutely love it! My daughter comes home raving about the classes. They are exciting, interesting and different. She has taken the entrepreneur classes there, space classes and robotics classes. Wish we could take advantage of all of the classes. Really special teachers too!
