We believe there is a disconnect between what children are learning at school and what is required for their happiness and success today as well as growing up.
The curriculum and pedagogical methods used in most schools today do not focus enough on practical day-to-day skills nor on essential soft skills like creativity, emotional intelligence, openness, critical thinking and more
BILDITS EDU is a school workshop that introduces students to the worlds of construction and more through fun hands-on experiences.
Students design and build the house of their dreams with their own hands by following every step of construction: from designing the house, to constructing steel structures, installing formwork, pouring cement, building masonry walls, painting, and more. The program uses Bildits’ proprietary award-winning STEM toys and equipment that are miniature replicas of construction materials found in construction sites.
The curriculum is designed with help from experts from UNICEF. It provides students with a new interactive way to better understand themselves and the world around them. The workshop drifts away from the concepts of standardization and is given in a non-linear and personalized way. It focuses on developing soft skills such as creativity, curiosity, emotional intelligence, self motivation, acceptance of new ideas and others, communication and more.
