Why is it so important all students take courses like these?

Why are STEM science courses necessary?
  • Innovation does NOT come naturally to MOST people.  It must be learned.

  • Innovation is like a muscle.  It must be exercised...no question about it (even if innovation comes natural to you).

  • ​The brain has a remarkable ability to create new circuits, a phenomenon known as plasticity.  This is accomplished by exercising the brain.​

  • Just giving a student math problems is not enough...it needs to be authentic! 

  • ​Rigorous problem-solving activities exercise and build brain "muscle".  BUT, it's important these activities are authentic, meaningful and stimulate greater areas of the brain.  

InnovatorsTribe.com is the perfect online resource for students grades 6-12 who want to learn how to DESIGN, BUILD and CREATE the world of tomorrow.

Everyone has the ability to innovate, BUT there are many students have the super-powers of innovation and S.T.E.M.

Athletes need a sport to express their gift.  

Give your students this experience...It’s their sport!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: I have more than one child. Do I need to purchase the course for each child?

A: It is recommended that each student has his or her own student account (purchased separately).  Each account is unique for grading and progress tracking.  However, there is nothing to prevent all of your children (in your household) from sharing a single account during the 24 month period.  You would be responsible for grading. 

Q: How long do students have access to each course?

A: Each student has a 24-month access to the course (24 months begins when your student starts the course...no matter when!) The software access is granted by our software partners for the duration of the course access period.  However, these software companies allow access to "students" as long as they qualify as a k-12 student, so they can keep creating long after the course is complete.  Software access is not guaranteed by Innovators Tribe after the 24 month period and is subject to change by these software companies.

Q: The courses are grades 6-12.  How can these courses cover grades 6-12?

A:  These courses are intentionally designed to allow students to complete the course work and activities according to their age, ability and interest.  Differentiated instruction occurs naturally because students interact with the content and activities at their own pace and skill level.

 

Q: What if I’m not satisfied? ​

A: You’re covered by a 30-day, no-risk guarantee.  The 30 days does not begin until your student begins the course.  Buy now, and start anytime! Click HERE for more information. 

 

Q: What supplies are required?

A: Click HERE to see the school store for the harder to find items.  Click the syllabus below for each course for the full list of supplies.

   Syllabus - Thinking Like an Engineer

   Syllabus - Thinking Like an Architect

   Syllabus - Robotics & Automation

 

Q: Do Innovators Tribes courses count as a full science class (or high school credit) for homeschoolers?

A: Each course is 40 hours long, so about one quarter of a school year. Use one or more courses as part of or supplement to a larger science program. Or, purchase all three courses in the money saving bundle for a full year, 1 credit science course for grades 6-12.

 

Q: Do Innovators Tribes courses work for special needs learners? 

A: Yes!  We have many parents who love how our courses engage their special needs learner.  Contact us HERE to discuss if our curriculum is right for your student.    

Q: What kind of technology do I need?

A: The software for the courses Thinking Like an Architect and Robotics & Automation are fully online and require only Google Chrome web browser. The Thinking Like an Engineer course software will run on both Mac and Windows.  Click HERE for more information.

 

Q: What if my student has a problem and needs help or has questions I can’t answer?

A: Support from an experienced, certified teacher is included in your purchase.  Students can access our help desk at any time.  Replies come within 24 hours (Monday-Friday).  Our support is highly rated.
