Raising children in the modern world isn’t exactly an easy task, especially with how competitive the world is becoming and what is expected of children to be able to thrive.
Because we live in an evolving world that expects people at a very young age to have an incredible skill set, children need to pick up life skills without being stressed and pressured about it. However, there are life skills that can be acquired easily and will be extremely beneficial for kids, not only in their studies but also in their everyday life. The best thing about it is that these skills can be taught through experiential learning and play where the child will not have to do anything except having fun.
One of the institutions in Egypt that focuses on a child’s future and tries to prepare children for the ever-evolving world is Snapology. Snapology is an American franchise ranked as the #1 STEAM enrichment franchise on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 list.
Snapology provides educational play opportunities for children aged 2-14 using a hands-on interactive approach to teach STEAM concepts. Whether your child chooses to participate in their classes, camps, workshops, or birthday parties, they can learn things like coding and robotics by using toys and objects they’re familiar with. These include LEGO bricks, K’NEX, tablets, and any medium or objects children find interesting.
At Snapology, everyone is welcome and they pride themselves in being inclusive to whatever educational, mental, or physical difficulty your child may have. You can get 10% off using your Rahet Bally Card when signing up for Snapology’s online programs, camps, workshops, or birthday parties. And if you’re a busy working mother or just need someone to help out with your child’s online lessons, Snapology’s Snap Pods now offer online and virtual learning aid.

Here are a few mind-blowing skills your child can learn through play:
Robotics
Children will explore the world of robotics as they build simple models that teach the fundamentals of robotic design. Whether learning about sensors while building drills and magic wands or discovering ways that gears and pulleys create movement while building helicopters and robotic dogs, your child is sure to have a great time.
Science and nature
Understanding science on its own doesn’t always make sense, but when applying it to the animal kingdom and environmental factors, your child will be able to grasp the concepts behind it.
ALL ABOUT ANIMALS allow your child to cultivate their love of animals. Children will learn various concepts of animal life cycles and animal characteristics and traits using K’Nex toys and other interactive learning tools. This is what leads to common sense in the future when they’re stuck in a rut and need to use the environment around them as well as scientific concepts to solve a problem.
Engineering
With Snapology’s Foundational Engineering course, your little ones will learn the introductory concepts to help them become better mechanical LEGO engineers! They will learn about engineering, simple machines, important engineering pieces, and teamwork skills by building a motorcycle, merry-go-round, and storm tracker vehicle, and much more.
Working under pressure
Gaining knowledge and being able to do certain tasks require practice. However, there are so many times where we find ourselves under a lot of stress and pressure with our brain completely frozen. At Snapology, children are taught how to think, be creative, and come up with solutions under pressure by adding a time factor to games.
Creativity and imagination
Coming up with innovative and creative ideas is what makes people stand out. By training the mind to go wild and come up with an imaginary universe, your child will learn the skills required to make their imagination come to life.
Problem-solving skills
Through all of the above programs, your child will always be facing difficulties, obstacles, and problems that need to be solved. However, through trial and error, children will learn problem-solving skills which are essential in everyday life.
Teamwork
At Snapology, children don’t just work on their own but rely on each other to make things happen. This teaches them the importance of teamwork and works on bringing out the best skills of each person to come up with the ultimate solution.
