TechStars relates to the study of the engineering and/or applied computer science/technology:
- from simple to compound machines and systems
- engineering in relation to technology to include introduction to physics & electrical engineering, programming, & robotics
- projects include hands-on applications of engineering principles with systems, models and structures as the end product
- a skill-building tool to support general educational disciplines(reading, math, science, social studies)
- problem solving based skill practice, without drill & practice, to build creative and organised thinking skills
- projects may thematically relate to software themes or provide hands-on practice with general educational disciplines. (e.g. language arts - write and illustrate a story; math - create your own hands-on math puzzles, science - illustrate the water cycle, social studies - mapmaking)
