Your Summer Begins with Galileo's Math ADD-Venture

School year’s almost out and we already feel the summer season upon us. Summer is also the best season to chill and have fun but the kids might lose track of their lessons. That is why Galileo is gearing up for the summer programs that will help students and parents as well not to forget the lessons learned at school.

To make it look that the kids will not have a school atmosphere, Galileo set it up to add more fun in their summer program. Although summer camps are fun and can be productive, Galileo has summer programs that are also fun and productive and can be used for their schooling.

Galileo launches the Math ADD-Venture Summer Programs that provides a different approach on how to solve math problems the systematic and easier way. I was invited by Galileo to attend a demonstration on how Singapore Math can make it easier to do Math.

I was one of the most people who is not good with Math and dreads everything that have something to do with Algebra and I am no physicist nor an engineer and I am not in a profession that has anything to do with mathematical solutions.

But after this demonstration for Singapore Math, I was convinced it can be useful in Math subjects to make it easier to learn the subject effectively. I recommend parents register their kids at Galileo’s Math Add-Venture summer programs if they don’t have plans to go out of town and give their kids some time to get busy while on a school break. Visit your nearest Galileo Center now and find out more of their summer programs.

A Teaser of the Digital Summer Camp

Education is now getting more interesting because of the digital age. One time at the mall, I saw an exhibit showcasing robotics display from different schools. I envied these kids because back then, we don’t have that luxury. It also makes me realize that there are schools now who are now initiating robotics in their respective schools.

 

After finishing with the drawing table, now taking some shots.

This got me interested when I was invited to the launch of Galileo and Power Mac Store’s Digital Summer Camp launch. During my childhood and teen years, I have an active lifestyle. I am enrolled in Tae Kwon Do classes and joined summer camps out of town. Now, the kids’ lifestyle are just limited to their tablets or mobile phones because of the various apps the internet can provide. So instead of discouraging, we might as well give them something to do especially in summer.

During the launch, I was given a choice which activity should I like to do. I started with Stop-Motion animation. This is like an old-school animation like flipping pages but using pictures with movements. This is the same method The Lego Batman Movie did which was shown only recently.

 

Moving the Sphero.

Back in the old days of filming, it was hard because the camera film is expensive and now we have gadgets to do this.  For the robotics, I got to try playing with the Sphero. It is a circular robot that can move around the flat surface. Using the iPad tablets like what I did with the Stop-Motion, it enables me to control the Sphero via Bluetooth. The reason for this licensed merchandise being used as a tool for a child to understand how to calibrate the unit’s controls and customized commands or wherever you like the Sphero to go. It is the same concept used for Star Wars: The Force Awakens’s BB-8 droid.

This will help the kids discover what hidden talents can they do and who knows. Maybe you are a parent of the future game developer or animator. Galileo is now accepting registrants for the Digital Summer Camp. You may inquire them for your desired schedule.
