Performing in the school by students in the digital age is raising a lot of questions. For parents, who grew up without internet technology think that this digital age is good for my child or not? Do electronics help my child’s school performance or not? There are observations about the negative impact of internet-enabled electronics like laptops, tablets. A Psychological Science  study recorded college students found that non-academic internet use was frequent and inversely related to performance on the subject’s cumulative final exam—regardless of interest in the class, motivation to succeed and intelligence (full article: “ Logged In and Zoned Out: How Laptop Internet Use Relates to Classroom Learning ”). One more observation in   2019 study in  Educational Psychology said: An International Journal of Experimental Psychology  found that student's exam performance was poorer for the material taught in classes that allowed electronic use than those that did not (full arti

RoboMinds – Preparing Future Engineers

Image
Do the parents want to introduce simple engineering concepts to their child? Are parents worried that the child does not have an interest in science and maths? RoboMinds definitely help the child to improve the concepts of science and Maths.” Robotics is about us. It is the discipline of emulating our lives, of wondering how we work “-Rod Grupen, robotics expert and professor of computer science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Children are curious to experiment with how different things work in RoboMinds programs of Mindsahead Academy . They explore new horizons as well as getting ready for the future while learning the concepts used in robotics science.   After school programs in Edison make the children learn more about doing the experiments rather than learning the theory only which develops their interest in STEM. So these concepts can be applied to the different subjects also like statistics and economics. Afterschool program in Hackensack gives practic
