Support the Math & Science CHALLENGE!
An “Early Learning Advantage” Program designed to create Math & Science Superstars
The Math & Science CHALLENGE!
A Science and Information Technology Program modeled on the US Olympic Development Program.
- Step 1: Get young children playing the “game” of math and science;
- Step 2: Build a growth-mindset using Pass-Try Again Challenges and coaching: We can do this, we can solve this problem—if we just work at it!
- Step 3: Create a sustainable STEM culture w/ Math & Science Challenge Tournaments and teacher support networks.
Early Learning Advantage
The CA Math & Science Challenge STEM DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM begins at age 5 with a K-3 robot-based* Introduction to Programming, Problem-solving, and Applied Mathematics. Children don’t know they are doing STEM, they fall in love with their robot, learn its language, and teach it to climb the Project Challenge-Tree.

Active Learning Zones: It’s Not About the Robots!
Robots are powerful Mind Tools but the specific robots we use change as the children get older and technology changes. The key to getting real learning out of a robotics-based STEM program is using the robots in an Active Learning Zone™
