Early Learning
Research shows that successful early childhood education focuses on learning through play. Teaching should meet the physical, intellectual, linguistic, emotional, and social needs of children. Makeblock Early Learning Solutions are designed to inspire children’s curiosity and imagination through coding, cultivating their emotional intelligence through play. This enables kids to adapt to classroom environments.
Primary Education
Primary education is the first stage of formal education. Primary school teachers encourage creativity and help children acquire literacy, numeracy, and communication skills. This can be implemented through a variety of activities. Makeblock’s Primary Education Solutions are designed to build children’s interest in science, cultivate their skills through coding projects, enrich their vocabulary, and enhance their analytical problem-solving skills.
Secondary Education
Secondary education is responsible for promoting students’ development in adolescence, the most rapid phase of physical, mental, and emotional growth. Secondary education includes the acquisition of new knowledge and skills. Makeblock Secondary Education Solutions are designed to develop students’ higher-order thinking and coding skills. It includes well-equipped teaching resources and elaborate programming projects.
