Pacific Rim Robotics

Every profession in the future will be augmented by science & technology. This includes creative and liberal arts professions as well. Musicians, artists, movie studios, lawyers – all extensively use STEM today – and this will only accelerate in the future. 

With the exponential pace of advancement in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), traditional pedagogy is not enough to prepare children for this augmented future. Instead, STEM should be seamlessly integrated in their learning – in a way that enhances and promotes their inherent capabilities and interests. 

At Pacific Rim, our mission is to introduce children to the exciting and wonderful world of STEM – in a way that develops long-term interest and sustained engagement through higher grade levels. We achieve this by recognizing the multi-dimensional nature of STEM learning. Kids are most engaged when they build things hands-on, and can see their work in action. They need to develop modeling, reasoning and computational thinking skills – in order to creatively solve problems. They absorb math and science the best, when it is interactive and relatable to the real world. This interest is sustained over the long term from a sense of accomplishment that comes from applying all this learning to create real-life solutions.
