Invention Lab at least twice a week, plus any additional time as appropriate to their curriculum.\u00a0\u00a0Activities are oriented toward building competence and confidence in problem solving, creativity, invention, mechanics and construction.\u00a0\u00a0A variety of skills are developed using tools including computing devices, electronics, puzzle solving, collaborative building of systems, robotics, etc.\u00a0\u00a0The Lab attempts to create an aura of magic and mystery while providing environments that are scaled to student capabilities.\u00a0\u00a0Along the way, we insure that students acquire the digital and organizational skills they will need in their academic subjects, but we approach this in a way that makes sure that learning these skills involves fun and creativity.\u00a0\u00a0The Invention Lab is also a showplace for inspiring things, an interactive children\u2019s museum, and a modern equivalent of the Renaissance \u201ccabinet of curiosities\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Applications Currently in Development<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We have a wide array of apps under development which address a broad range of learning tasks and skills.\u00a0\u00a0The common thread is that they build confidence, problem solving ability, creativity and invention, while addressing these skills in all areas of learning, including math, science, language arts, music and art.\u00a0\u00a0The apps will employ modalities of interaction and cooperation made possible by new mobile devices, while also addressing the huge installed base of conventional desktop and laptop machines.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our Zoo City app is currently for sale in the app store for iPAD, iTOUCH
