Sparking the AHA! in Learning!
We believe that sparking a learner's creative curiosity empowers them to be future innovators.
CONSTRUKTS is a hands-on learning platform that strengthens spatial and computational thinking by merging a learner’s smart block construction with mixed-reality STEM learning modules to understand the structural and mathematical systems that are integrated into the world of their imagination.

IMPACT STATEMENT
The motivating question that has driven the development of CONSTRUKTS is: How can advanced technologies that are often designed for an applied purpose, such as wireless sensor networks to monitor phenomenon that can be detected by sensors, be integrated into applications for learning, creating, and exposing people of all ages to technologies and tools that will not only impact their lives, but might also help them build the self-efficacy to become future innovators.

CONSTRUKTS pilot application, in development, will support middle-school mathematics for formal and informal learning environments.
U.S.students' secondary school achievement level in Mathematics is below the global average as assessed by the 2018 OECD PISA study. That study evaluated student’s ability to interpret, recognize, and without direct instructions understand how a real-world situation can be represented mathematically.
CONSTRUKTS is founded on decades of research about best practices in teaching and how people learn to provide solutions for improving contextual, analytic, and skills-based learning. The EdTech CONSTRUKTS platform supports learning by converging the physical, virtual, and computational worlds for creative problem solving, spatial thinking, fine motor dexterity skills, and discovery.
