Why join Innovate Academy?
The beginning of the academy year brings on new possibilities of inspiration and continuing goals for the year.
Whether it is getting new students inspired by STEM or helping the ones with experience achieve even more, there is always a lot to do.
At the heart of the matter, is really just being there for them each time they come to our classrooms. We might think we are just teaching them or helping them through the subjects but many times it’s much more than that.
We become friends with them, they become friends with each other and many a time, these students just want a friend to do the STEM life with.
Someone said recently when he heard that many of our students have now become successful adults, “hope they became engineers.” Yes, we hope for that but what we really want for them is to be alright and living their best life, whatever that may be.
By the way, not everyone we taught became an engineer, but they certainly became good problem solvers 😉
I could not help but reflect on the recent social media trend of life in 2016.
This is a snippet of what we did at ITRA in 2016 alongside many inspiring students who put in their best effort.
All that is left now are good memories of the things we did, the way we stretched ourselves to do almost impossible things back then.
It was the year of robots, droids and drones and also the year of no limits. We worked with so many people.
2016, May you give us inspiration again this year!
