About Goldsmith Education

Who we are:
Goldsmith Education L.L.C. provides technology education to elementary through high school students in interesting, fun and exciting ways. Students learn science, mathematics and engineering concepts in a thought provoking, safe and varying educational environment with exposure to a multitude of age appropriate learning tools, programming (coding) languages and specially designed physical kits.
Our program starts by giving students base knowledge in technology starting with the very basic machines to compound builds growing toward opened ended building and programming opportunities. Our idea of technology education is that students need to be grounded in physical construction in order to truly understand how to create a program to manipulate the world around them.
 
What We Do:
Our unique curriculum prepares students for a multitude of technology opportunities through education in design, programming, trouble shooting and more.
Emphases is placed on the use of logical progression of technology and engineering achievement. Students are treated as engineers and learn to communicate as such using scientific and engineering terms and ideas. In turn our young engineers work collaboratively to overcome challenges and learn from one another experiences.
The classes we offer have a hand in both sectors of technology, programming and the physical construction. Students have the opportunity to build and program robotic creations. Students begin learning the physical uses of technology such as different types of simple machines and how they can manipulate the world around them. From there students use these concepts to build compound machines and in turn automate these to create functional robots.
 
How We Are Different:
When it comes to technology education our belief is that the system as a whole has to be looked at in order to truly understand the how and the why. With this in mind students are tasked with both building and programming in the classroom. This multi-pronged approach also leads to the most crucial and at times frustrating part of technology, trouble shooting. Giving the students full control over builds and tasks leads to better understanding of material as they marry the physical world and the digital world.
