"The nature of insight brings together diverse perspectives...." 

 

INSIGHT Learning isn't just a "tutoring" program. Brilliant K-8th grade minds don’t always get all the intellectual nutrition they need from their daily diet of school and extracurriculars. Our INSIGHT Learning after-school program is a laboratory of engaging learner experiences designed to captivate, engage, and challenge each student.  These activities are best suited for students (grades 1st-8th). Activities range from hands-on robotics, coding and programming challenges, architectural and engineering design, stop motion animation and improv, live action role-play, science experiments to teach principles of chemistry, physics, neuroscience, and mathematics, visual arts and aesthetics, dance, the science of food and taste, and fun with mathematics.

 

 Our recommended approach for this program is a relatively less structured curriculum schedule to allow for maximum student-guided fluidity where the instructor can adapt lessons based on emerging interests, skills, and passions of the students.

​

Students will create highly innovative projects as they explore foundational skills such as programming languages, physical and experimental sciences, the magic of mathematics, dance, engineering, and art techniques. All the while, they discover astounding connections between these topics, and the humanities, and our everyday reality.

During the course of the year, one or multiple engaging, fun  projects and exciting mini-challenges to master along the way!

​

These extended exploration, project-driven classes are very adaptable for any duration and grade level.

Emphasis is on the integration and application of skills to solve a problem, overcome a challenge, and/or creation and demonstration of skills through an innovative project. 

 

 

                  INSIGHT: the understanding of a specific cause and effect within a specific context.

"Proposed potential mechanisms for insight include: suddenly seeing the problem in a new way, connecting the problem to another relevant problem/solution pair, releasing past experiences that are blocking the solution, or seeing problem in a larger, coherent context."  - Sternberg, Edited by Robert J.; Davidson, Janet E. (1996)
