The Curriculum

What Students Build Mastery In

Logic & Computational Thinking

Students learn to break problems into steps, write conditions, and reason through systems — using Scratch and MakeCode block editors before moving to text-based code.

Sensors & Signals

Reading light, temperature, and motion with micro:bit and Grove Beginner Kit for Arduino — and responding to it in code.

Robotics & Motion

Servos, motors, and movement with VEX and Lego systems — turning code into physical action.

AI Prompt Literacy

Students work with Sam AI to learn prompt engineering — communicating with AI, not just using it.

3D Design & Fabrication

From digital model to physical object — students design in 3D and bring it to life on a printer.

Cybersecurity

Understanding threats, protecting systems, and thinking like a defender. Encryption, network safety, and ethical hacking fundamentals.

Only available for the DLK

IoT & Connectivity

Connecting hardware to the internet with sensors, Bluetooth, and WiFi — students build devices that send data, trigger remote actions, and talk to the world.

Applied projects — build, test, and iterate real systems

Master

Full mastery — lead, teach, and showcase original work

Our Story

Why Synapse Built This

Synapse has been doing hands-on STEM in Orlando since 2016 — circuits, microcontrollers, 3D design, real code, real hardware. Over 2,500 students later, one thing hasn't changed: parents want to continue that level of learning at home, and nothing out there was built to do it.

So we built it ourselves. The Synapse Platform brings everything we've learned in the lab — structured, progressive, grade-appropriate STEM learning across coding, IoT, 3D design, and microcontrollers — directly to families nationwide. Powered by AI, shipped as a physical kit, designed for kids who are ready to build real things.
