For STEM Educational Benefits
Lean Six Sigma provides students with an evidence-based fundamental framework that builds essential skills for both academic and future professional careers.
- Structured problem-solving: The DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) process provides a clear roadmap for projects, guiding students to effectively scope their challenge, collect and analyze data, develop solutions, and sustain improvements.
- Data-driven analysis: The methodology shifts decision-making from guesswork to evidence, teaching students how to use statistical tools and data to identify the true causes of issues and verify their results.
- Critical thinking: Students learn to think critically about their experimental processes, identifying and eliminating inefficiencies or "waste" that do not add value to their project outcomes.
- Project management: The experience of managing a Lean Six Sigma project from start to finish develops a student's project management, decision-making, and communication skills.
Continuous Improvement Mindset
Lean Six Sigma helps instill a lasting mindset of excellence and improvement.
- Focus on continuous improvement: The methodology teaches that every process can be improved, which helps students view failures not as final setbacks but as opportunities to learn and refine their methods for the next project.
- Team collaboration: While many science projects are individual efforts, the team-based approach of Lean Six Sigma can be adapted to group projects, teaching students to work effectively with others and leverage diverse strengths.
- Developing future leaders: Providing students with this framework early in their academic careers helps establish a foundation for future leadership roles in which they can drive innovation and create positive change.
- Increased accountability: By systematically tracking their process and results, students can provide tangible evidence of their project's success, which boosts their confidence and provides a clear story to share with others.
Hands-On Workshop
Personalize the learning journey for every child, using hands-on STEM workshops to foster their natural curiosity, build independent thinking, and develop unconventional, real-world skills.
Electronics Engineering: Develops practical skills and a deeper understanding of electronics. Learn circuit principles, soldering techniques, and component functions through hands-on learning and interactive end-products. The project includes a Mini Tesla Coil, an LED Light Musical Cube, an Electromagnetic Transmitter, a 5 Retro Classic Games Kit, etc.
Tablet, PC, and Laptop Troubleshooting: Learning about hardware is beneficial for children because it improves problem-solving skills and gives them a deeper understanding of how technology works and how to use it effectively.
Recommended age: 6th to 9th grade students, Max 10 students per class.
How to 3D Design and Print Rockets
Embrace the Aerospace engineering design process, and foster a mindset of continuous improvement that combines the creative potential of 3D printing with the structured, problem-solving skills. By building, testing, and refining rockets, they learn to identify and fix flaws, accept failure as a part of innovation, and see how to improve a system through Lean Six Sigma's DMAIC process.
