FUSE
This special tech class for 5th graders is a new kind of interest-driven learning experience developed by researchers and educators in the School of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University.
The program engages pre-teens and teens in science, technology, engineering, arts/design, and mathematics (STEAM) topics
while fostering the development of important 21st century skills.
The core activities in the FUSE Studios are a set of challenges. Each challenge uses a leveling up model from gaming and is carefully designed to engage teens in different STEAM topics and skills sets such as robotics, electronics, biotechnology, graphic design, Android app development, 3D printing and more.
