The Junior Makers Program is a hands-on innovation journey designed for students in Grades 1 to 3, where curiosity transforms into creativity and ideas come to life. Rooted in STEM education, Maker Education, Design Thinking, Inquiry-Based Learning, and Project-Based Learning, the program encourages young learners to explore, experiment, collaborate, and create through meaningful, real-world experiences.
Rather than simply learning concepts, students actively investigate, build, test, and refine their ideas, developing the confidence to think independently and solve problems creatively. Through a carefully designed progression, learners move from exploration to collaboration, and ultimately to creation, laying a strong foundation for lifelong innovation.
Learning Journey
Grade 1
Exploring Science Through Action – Students discover the fascinating world of science by exploring materials, forces, and everyday phenomena through hands-on investigations. By experimenting with concepts such as push, pull, water, and motion, they develop curiosity while building an early understanding of how the world works.
Grade 2
Animation & Digital Magic – Creativity takes center stage as students learn the fundamentals of visual storytelling through flipbooks, stop-motion animation, and 3D pens. They explore movement, sequencing, and spatial reasoning while transforming imaginative ideas into engaging animated stories.
Grade 3
Mastering the Design Process – Students embrace the complete design cycle by learning to investigate, prototype, evaluate, and improve their creations. Through hands-on projects involving simple machines, gears, pulleys, structures, basic circuits, and maker tools, they develop engineering thinking and practical problem-solving skills.
