Theoretical Approach
Bizgenics has studied a number of leading education theories and approaches over the past two years. Our goal is to combine state-of-the-art education philosophies into a creative expression platform that unleashed creativity in children. We recognize that any tool intended for use by children is high stakes and must be carefully tested and vetted. As such, we have been diligent to maintain open minds and do deep research. This all comes at a time when education has entered a period of systemic change, which complicates our challenge. To this end, we have been cognizant to explore and integrate a number of key disciplines including:
- Project-, Problem-, & Innovation-Based Learning
- STEM, STEAM & STREAM
- Inquiry-Based Learning
- 21st Century “Soft Skills” Theory & Assessment
- Learning Management Theory & Systems
- Collaborative Education
- Design-Thinking
- Game & Engagement Theory
- Post-Secondary Education Recruiting Needs
- Mentorship, Internship & Career Pathways
- Child Identity Security Policy & Laws
- Fair & Equal Access
- Support of Under-Serve & At-Risk Children
