Portland Wiz Kids offers programs for kids in engineering, inventing, and creative problem solving at various locations throughout the Portland Metro area. Each program is developed as a way to introduce kids to the process of design and creativity in technology, with a balance of scientific theory and creative freedom to apply what is learned in a new way - truly the essence of invention.
Kids these days have many opportunities to interract with science and technology, but often it is a one-way interaction, with someone or something communicating to them, whether a teacher, a website, or a game. Portland Wiz Kids programs are developed on the basis of action learning, which uses experiential activities to teach the engineering and creative processes, whether it is designing a robot, programming a new computer game, creating a solar car, or inventing a new toy or game. Kids learn how to create something new, while having fun doing it.
Innovation comes from people who are not afraid of solving problems; who see obstacles as opportunity to make the world a better place. Portland Wiz Kids programs are designed for kids who want to learn how to use engineering or inventing to create new solutions to problems. They are designed for kids who love math and science and as well as those who don't! Each program offers participants a new way of looking at the technology they interact with on a daily basis - from a designer's point of view, rather than simply as a user.
