Inven-TABLEs are innovative workstations designed to foster creativity, critical thinking, and engineering skills in young learners. These hands-on building tools allow students to bring their ideas to life by designing, constructing, and problem-solving, providing a platform where they can actively engage in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) learning. By implementing Inven-TABLEs, Windsong can offer students more authentic learning experiences, allowing them to explore concepts in practical, real-world settings and build essential 21st-century skills. Inven-TABLEs are child-friendly workstations equipped with various tools and materials for building and engineering activities. Students can work on projects such as designing bridges, constructing simple machines, or creating prototypes of their inventions. These activities encourage students to engage in the engineering design processâ€"identifying problems, brainstorming solutions, building models, testing, and improving their designs. This process helps students develop essential problem-solving skills and apply what they learn in math, science, and technology to hands-on projects. The introduction of Inven-TABLEs will provide students with hands-on learning experiences that foster creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. By supporting STEM education and offering opportunities for authentic learning, this grant will help equip students with the skills they need.
