Our Teaching Philosophy

As fellow parents and scientists ourselves, we care about whole child learning - not only STEM skills, but also resilience, creativity, collaboration, and confidence. Our programs deliver serious, meaningful science that kids can see, touch, and truly understand. Our team prioritize sustainability by offering long-term STEM education solutions. Every lesson is designed to be inclusive and accessible for all communities. At WonderWorks Lab, we believe every child is a potential scientist or engineer.

Part 1: Instructor Guided Lesson

During the first part of the class, our experienced instructors focus on engaging students. Begin by introducing the topic in a fun, relatable way. Briefly explain key concepts, keeping explanations simple and visual. Lead a short warm-up activity and discussion to spark curiosity and get everyone involved.

Part 2: Project-based Engineering

The main part of the class, students engage in a comprehensive and well crafted hands-on engineering or science project. Instructor circulates the room to provide guidance, and ensure materials are used safely and correctly. Students are encouraged to troubleshoot individually or collaboratively, and find creative solutions together.

Booklets: Inspire More Thinking

To extend learning, we provide beautiful handouts and easy-to-follow manuals for every lesson. These materials encourage students to create, design, and explore, reinforcing what they learned in class. Each handout includes reflection prompts, fun challenges, and clear explanations of key STEM concepts—such as gravity, buoyancy, energy, motion, and more.

Part 3: Move, Stretch, Recharge

Midway through class, kids get a fun brain-and-body break to recharge! Instructors invite them to stretch, wiggle, and shake out their energy with MUSIC! A quick “STEM Stretch” or a playful movement game connected to the day’s theme is always filled with laughter and team bonding.

Part 4: Take-Home Project

Every class ends with a complete, hands-on STEM kit that students build entirely on their own. From radios and submarines to mechanical butterflies, doodling robots, soft-blade fans, and more—each creation gives kids a sense of pride, accomplishment, and real STEM mastery.
