There has been a fair amount of criticism leveraged against “paint-by-numbers” types of STEM and maker kits. This criticism revolves around the stifling of the creativity of learners. I contend that learners need foundational skills so that they can be freed up to be creative. Think about learning how to cook or play an instrument. The basic and foundational skills need to be there in order for the makers to go in directions that are new and creative for them. .
A phenomenon is very simply put an observable event. Some natural phenomena we see are rainbows, lightning, and geysers. These phenomena make us even as adults wonder and ask questions.

We want to encourage these questions, these wonders, these ideas.
