At ACE Academy Camps, our aim is to provide children with a creative space where they are free to explore, discuss, and create. The teacher’s role is to design available activities that utilize cognitive and sensory pathways to make the learning experience more effective, integrating academic concepts (math, language, science, problem solving) across different investigative opportunities. The student’s role is to explore wherever their interest guides them.
Our model is based on the latest educational research. Students learn best when they are part of the learning; that is, when they get to explore, discuss, provide opinions, or are appropriately challenged. We also know the effectiveness of student-centered learning, in which the learner uses their own inquiry and investigation to guide education, rather than committing to prescribed activities.
Active learning occurs when a child’s brain is challenged to use cognitive and sensory networks at the same time. “In plain terms, the more we can activate a student’s brain in different ways, the more they learn. This means that engaging as many sensory, cognitive, emotional and social processes in students will increase their learning potential.” (Source: Neuroscience of Active Learning).
Campers will explore topics related to LEGO®. While campers are investigating through play and inquiry, they will use reading, writing, speech, math, and science skills to support their learning and exploration.
