Virtual enrichment programs
Nexplore incorporates consumable kits into its virtual programs and will ship kits to partner schools or directly to families’ homes. All the virtual classes are run live and delivered via Zoom which is free to download. This helps to create a more hands-on virtual experience where students can interact and remain engaged.
Science and Engineering – Nexplore Makers Club gives students the opportunity to interact with fun Maker kits that enhance mechanical, art and engineering skills. Students experiment and create their own inventions which they can keep and share with family and friends. They experiment with structural design, learn to harness energy to power race cars, design remote-controlled hydraulic arms, and much more.
The Robocoding program introduces students to the fundamentals of robotics and coding. They use award-winning robotics cubes with distinctive functions to create machines that can light up, move, and interact with the world around them. They gain more understanding of how they can combine simple building blocks to perform ever more complex tasks and learn more about fundamental concepts such as inputs, outputs and processing.
Digital tech – The Virtual Reality kit allows students to develop experiences in virtual reality with CoSpaces software that runs on browsers, smartphones and Google Cardboard. For example, they can create a personal 3D museum displaying their family history and use VR goggles to walk through it.
The Game Design kit teaches students Scratch, a virtual programming language suitable for beginner coders. They can develop 2D games to publish online.
A Web Design kit teaches students the basics of building a website from scratch. They learn the two main languages for the web, HTLM and CSS. Using the CodeCademy platform, they create a website all on their own.
Art – Students can release their imaginations and express their creativity with art kits. The Art kit teaches students core artistic techniques and concepts. Fun mixed-media projects are inspired by other cultures and the works of famous artists. With Art Rods students learn the basic of 3D design, sculpting and modeling.
Other programs include Life Skills (Finance, Magic) and Health and Fitness including Zumba and Capoera.
After school programs are more critical than ever at this time. Nexplore’s programs are already offered weekly at more than 300 educational partners across many different states in the U.S. and the fact that it offers both onsite and virtual learning opportunities makes it uniquely poised to make a contribution right now and in the future.
