Steamoji nation

Build to Solve. Solve to Build.

OUR STORY

We are parents who came together to solve a problem.

Parents see technological change rapidly accelerating in the world and wonder how well schools are helping their children prepare for the technologies of their future (which are probably currently unknown to anyone). What is a caring parent to do?

As parents, we can feel anxious when we look at traditional schools. Our children’s curriculum is constrained by local school boards, trained teachers, uncertain budgets, and institutional slow change.

Our Vision

We believe all kids are makers and have the power to change the world.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to training the next generation of Master Makers - equipping them with the skills and confidence to transform their world.

OUr values

All new Steamoji Nation franchise partners need to share these values. If they resonate with you then we would encourage you to take the next step in this process.

EXPLORATION

Wonder. Discover. Ask. Try.
We have a spirit of embracing change and believe that if we are going to fail, we must fail well. We are understanding, appreciative, and supportive of new ideas, as we are human and recognize the humanity in others.

COLLABORATION

Work together. Share. Listen. Help.
We make learning and growing together a safe and approachable process, creating an environment that is both competitive, and supportive. Even in competition, we stay true to being honest, humble and fair.

PROBLEM SOLVING

Think. Experiment. Learn. Improve.
We understand that there are many different ways to overcome a problem, and look at the bigger picture from all angles. We are tenacious and industrious, and never lose sight of the goal we have set out to accomplish.

MAKER MINDSET

Curious. Resilient. Adaptable. Creative.
We are lifelong learners that value growing from our mistakes. We are agile and anticipate the need to constantly iterate and improve our solutions, while seeking feedback from others in order to gain greater perspective.

What parents Say

Your child will develop a maker mindset

"My son loves Steamoji! It’s like he’s in engineering grad school working on his own passion projects with his supervisor and he’s not yet kindergarten. He gets very excited and runs in there scanning his badge asking what he’s making today. His favourite so far has been building remote control robots."
Claire R.Parent, Steamoji Calgary Northwest
"Unique and comprehensive curriculum – I love that they’re all hands-on projects that involve coding, 3-D printing, robotics, etc., so that kids aren’t just glued to the screen." steamoji.com

"Unique and comprehensive curriculum – I love that they’re all hands-on projects that involve coding, 3-D printing, robotics, etc., so that kids aren’t just glued to the screen."
Ray L.Parent, Steamoji Oakville South
"We have our child in this program and it is excellent. It fills a niche between learning things that are abstract and building things to completion. It’s a well-designed program and the instructors are very good."
Alexander P.Parent, Steamoji Redmond
"The Steamoji program has been such a wonderful experience for my son! It's opened his world up and has changed his life right now in such a positive way! He's found something he's passionate about and he can't get enough of the program."
Jennifer A.Parent, Steamoji Redmond
"It has been great to see my daughters create and build things with their hands. They sometimes struggle with the abstract nature of school subjects. It's great to see them engaged with technology and eager to apply their new skills!"
Alexandra B.Parent, Steamoji Redmond
"My kids get so excited to go to Steamoji! It’s hands-on projects from day one. I love how the kids get to follow their curiosity and there are facilitators around to support their progress."
Lydia D.Parent, Steamoji Sherwood Park
"It's almost a year our kids are attending Steamoji at West Vancouver and they really love it... Our kids learned that there is always a few ways to solve the problem. They just love Steamoji and we're happy to see them involved."
DmitriyParent, Steamoji West Vancouver
