Learning Engineering and Technology at a young age is of great importance in today's rapidly advancing world. STEM education encourages young minds to be curious, ask questions, and explore solutions to real-world problems. It fosters critical thinking and analytical skills that are essential for problem-solving in various aspects of life. Our STEM programs and STEM curriculum promotes creativity and innovation by encouraging students to think outside the box. It provides opportunities to design and create new solutions, inventions, and products, fostering an entrepreneurial mindset. Technology is rapidly evolving, and there is a growing demand for professionals with technical skills. By starting to develop these skills at a young age, individuals can acquire the foundational knowledge that will be in demand in the future job market. They will be able to comprehend the inner workings of technological systems, devices, and infrastructure, enabling them to make informed decisions and adapt to a technology-driven society. Our philosophy is to equip young individuals with the necessary skills to navigate digital platforms, use software tools, and understand the implications of emerging technologies. To foster this mindset, K-Rockets offers classroom programs and cutting-edge STEM curriculum for elementary, middle and high schools (K-12). Additionally, we provide the necessary teacher training and development as a part of STEM curriculum package.

Green Engineering
“Renewable energy sources“ will become our most important (or only) source of energy in the future. Students learn the importance of producing, storing and use of electricity from natural energy sources such as water, wind and sun. What is "Green Engineering"? What is the impact of energy consumption in our society? How does a fuel cell work? Why is energy conservation even important?
This course will help students answer these questions and understand energy forms of the future.

Physics
Physics is fun, where students learn the statics and dynamics of fluid dynamics, oscillation, hydraulics, and pneumatics. With experiments and models, they learn about law of forces, motion and energy, that causes ships to float and airplanes to fly. What is gravity, why is shape of a car important, how do power plants work? We learn these concepts through engaging and easy to perform physical demonstrations.
K-12 STEM curriculum available.
Robotics
This program covers everything related to robotics - starting from "what is a robot" to creating your own competitive robot. How does a remote control car work? Learn robotic concepts, operation principles and algorithms. Students will learn scientific principles as they build multiple robots including a Line Tracer, Avoider, Battle Robot, Soccer Robot, and more.
K-12 STEM curriculum available.
Structural Design
In this course, students will learn how to design structures, and integrate mechanical actions into structural designs. They will explore the impact of various internal and external forces on structures by conducting the stability tests. The function and architecture of earthquake and wind resistant buildings and structures, such as roller coasters will be taught. The hands-on projects will include students modifying the design of some famous buildings in the world!
