Bring Zero2Maker to Your School

Zero2Maker can be offered as a virtual online course based on a schedule that fits into your time table and your budget. Each student receives a kit that they own and they can join an online community. This will require that the course  be offered along with other school courses for continued availability and student involvement.  

It can also be offered as an after school program based on the schools budget.  

Another option for the school is to set up a Maker Lab in the school and offer  the Zero2Maker and Zero2Entrepreneurship programs. EnCube provides all the necessary tools while your school provides the space and the budget.  This creates  maximum impact for the school, students and other stakeholders through building an ecosystem. 

COURSE OVERVIEW AND CURRICULUM

The Zero2Maker course introduces students to the application of science, art, and technology through hands-on design of products. While teaching hard technology and design skills, it also enhances student competence in teamwork, mentoring and communication. The student builds strong self-efficacy and self-learning abilities that can be life changing. The course is offered as virtual online sessions with mentoring as the main model for instruction.
