About IQ UP! Methodology

The IQ UP! methodology is a foray into the enchanting world of STEM—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics—enhanced by a unique blend of educational neuroscience and interactive teaching. This strategy employs advanced techniques to spur the complete intellectual development and skill acquisition in children. Customized to align with the natural rhythms of learning, it supports varied learning styles and incorporates technology for a versatile and enriching educational experience. Emphasis on collaborative learning, constant brain capacity enhancement, and an evolving curriculum makes the learning process both engaging and enjoyable, aiming to unlock the limitless potential within each young learner.

IQ UP! Educational Concept: More Than a STEM Academy, More Than a Coding School

The IQ UP! educational concept transcends traditional learning models, combining STEM education with programming and literature in a uniquely engaging manner. Each class is introduced through a scientific story featuring the beloved characters Bibi, Bobi, and Oliver, who guide children through STEM concepts in an interactive and captivating way. These narratives, brimming with puzzles, challenges, and humor, ensure that learning is not only enjoyable but also memorable. Following the storytelling, the adventure continues with hands-on activities that encourage exploration, experimentation, analysis, and real project creation. Through interactive games, brain exercises, and logical puzzles, students acquire practical knowledge and develop essential mental skills. Each class concludes with programming and the creation of a digital project, enabling students to apply their newfound knowledge using age-appropriate programming tools to create digital animations, games, or applications relevant to their studies.
