1. Commitment Period & Start Options
Not sure if your kid(s) will like the class or if they’ll stick to it? We totally get it. You’re trying to find your child’s interests and strengths. At Funtastik Labs, after the first month, you can cancel anytime you like with a 7-day notice. Also, your kid can join the robotics program anytime.
2. Kid to Kit Ratio
Will your kid(s) get to use a complete kit or will they share one? Many programs have kids working in pair or even groups making it nearly impossible for the instructor to determine how an individual child is doing. Sharing kits also introduces additional challenges as now your kid is dependent on how well them and their partner collaborate. It’s like learning math or reading as a team. It doesn’t produce reliable results.
At Funtastik Labs, every child gets a kit to work with so they can demonstrate competency of the skills themselves. It allows us to track each child’s progress individually and allows us to give more support when needed and when to clear the runway for them to accelerate.
3. Pace of the Class: Group or Self-Paced
Is your child ready to move ahead but the rest of the class isn’t? Or, does your child need a bit more time and assistance but the rest of the class is ready to move on? Every group based learning program struggles with this challenge. Why? Because learning requires high amounts of focused attention. Attention that, in kids if not adults, varies from time to time and day to day. One kid may be tired, another kid’s interest may wander, while another may not be present that day.
Studies have shown that kids learn better when they’re in control of their learning. They learn more conceptually with less stress and experience higher levels of motivation. The more a program can cater to the individual kid, the better it can ensure they’ve mastered the content before moving them ahead.
At Funtastik Labs, our robotics program gives kids the freedom to move at their own pace. Each child moves to the next challenge or level as soon as they, not the class average, demonstrate mastery of the current level. If they can do it quickly, they move through the curriculum quickly. If they need to spend more time, they can do that. Rather than being constrained by the group and the instructor,they’re supported by it.
4. Just Play or Real Engineering
Playing with LEGO can be fun and the kids that love LEGO won’t complain. But does the program have more to it than just play? Is there methodology that helps kids develop real engineering skills?
At Funtastik Labs, our program leads kids to think and work like engineers. From developing the technical skills to understanding the engineering process, we gradually take them through the stages and help them develop real engineering skills.
