We aim to create an inclusive learning environment which helps more students to develop higher order thinking skills and achieve desired learning outcomes. Our lesson plans include opportunities for computational thinking and hands on experiential learning to help a variety of learners succeed.
We use clear, simple language to make course content easily understandable for students and educators. We aim to provide assessments that excite and engage students rather than intimidate them. Where appropriate, we provide self-directed learning opportunities to promote autonomy. Our lesson plans are also flexible and applicable to different learning environments, including in-person, online, or hybrid.
To be inclusive of all learners, our online curriculum is built around hands-on learning products like the InkSmith Climate Action Kit, k8 Robot, and 3D printers.
Our online curriculum platform is home to a variety of different courses, lesson plans, and presentation-ready content for delivery in the classroom.
Our Climate Action Kit bundle includes access to multiple courses based around climate change issues and physical computing.
Each course/module includes comprehensive curriculum connections and an extensive slide deck of content ready for delivery in the classroom.
Available in English & French
Our k8 Modular Robotics bundle includes step-by-step instruction on how to build and code your micro:bit robot.
From driving to remote control and line following, our k8 courses are the perfect introduction to robotics and coding with the micro:bit.
Available in English and French
We recommend that educators access the curriculum platform and modify the content for their classroom needs in courses like such as our Climate Action Kit.
Educators have full control to tailor the platform's content to the desired grade range, length, and experience of their students.
Our k8 Robot course is designed to be an opportunity for self-directed learning. Students can progress through the courses on their own, at their own pace.
For student access, users will need to either create their own platform login, or share a login with fellow students.
The content on InkSmith's curriculum platform has been specifically design and built around a number of global competencies and pedagogies such as Design Thinking, Computational Thinking, Universal Design for Learning, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
