Course Description

Programme Overview

Each week presents a different challenge which calls on students to twist their brains and research about the topic or problem presented to them.

From hands-on SCIENCE experiments, ARTS and HUMANITIES to SOCIAL games and activities the EXPLORERS programme aims to encourage knowledge acquisition and idea sharing within a fun and creative environment.

The STEAM Model

In an ever changing world, abundant of knowledge children need no longer be told what to study. Rather our aim is to teach students How to Learn in order for them to learn to Think rather than just be consumers of technology and information.

As our aim is not to predict the outcome of human achievement but rather to create the right environment for individual growth to take root.

All of EXPLORERS’ weekly activities and workshops follow the STEAM Model which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths. The basic model of STEAM based education is to teach kids to bridge subjects and problem solve during hands-on activities. The idea behind this is to have children learn in an multidisciplinary and creative approach rather than by subject (ex. Maths, Languages or History as stand-alone subjects).

STEAM Education - EXPLORERS Malta

This creative approach allows students to use and apply knowledge from different domains towards different solutions or to simply come up with different ideas. It encourages students to think more broadly about real-world problems. It has helped create innovations like the iPhone, the original laptop computer, and is even revolutionizing cooking in third world countries, and improving air quality as a result.

It helps students ask questions, connect the dots, problem solve, think creatively, and be innovative. And not only can STEAM save the world, it can save our kids too by making their future bright.

Parents may choose to drop-off and/or pick-up your child(ren) earlier or later against an extra charge. View Rates

InnovativeKids Malta

InnovativeKids by AK Malta was conceived as an idea to promote INNOVATION and CREATIVITY through inter-disciplinary learning experiences aimed at 21st century knowledge and skills.

⭐ MULTIDISCIPLINARY

In today and tomorrow’s world students require multidomain knowledge and skills. We break the mould of teaching by subject. Through our project-based system students are able to learn mathemathics, literacy and history through the arts. They are able to mix knowledge from different domains to come up with a creative solution or outcome.

⭐ ORGANIC LEARNING

Our competence-oriented approach allows students to learn through their own mistakes, reflect and improve. It allows students the space and time for errors and correction. A system which aims to reshape how students portray Failure.

⭐ INTEREST DRIVEN

Motivation like in anything else in life is a key aspect in a child’s learning experience. When learning is joyful and desirable, students are hungry to learn on their own, without outside persuasion
