The Fixies brings a STEAM education to studens in a very engaging way. The traditional method of learning how something works by taking it apart is still a great teaching tool, but this method is limiting since not everyone has extra radios, alarm clocks, or telephones sitting around ready to be operated upon. Throughout this series, studens are shown a multitude of things that they use every day and are forced to see them in a whole new light. They explore the inside of things and see how things work and why they work. They are given opportunities to come up with ways to work around a problem, like a burnt out wire or a broken compass, to figure out a new solution. This type of learning inspires a child to think, consider, and wonder about how to make new inventions or how to create something to solve problems in innovative ways.Titles in this Series:
