Education

Overview

Bildits Education is a STEAM-accredited program that empowers schools to create a learner-centered, inquiry-based, and transdisciplinary learning environment. Students use Bildits’ proprietary realistic construction materials to build functional small-scale structures and tackle realistic construction challenges, gaining practical skills across various fields of engineering and design.

Through the hands-on, interactive application of STEAM principles, the program aims to foster a passion for learning by promoting curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, and other essential 21st-century skills.

“Children’s intelligence differs from an adult’s in quality rather than in quantity. This means that children think differently from adults and see the world in different ways.”

Our Mission

Bildits’ mission is to support schools in creating a learner-centered, inquiry-based, and transdisciplinary environment. The program seeks to inspire students by using real-world construction scenarios, empowering them to actively explore and engage with engineering and design concepts. 

Through this approach, Bildits aims to foster a passion for learning and equip students with practical skills that will be valuable both inside and outside the classroom.

Our Approach

Bildits Education bridges the gap between academic knowledge and real-life skills by providing students with realistic construction materials and tools that mimic those used on actual construction sites. The program challenges students with real-world engineering and architectural problems, such as building stable structures and understanding load distribution, which they must solve collaboratively. 

By engaging students in authentic construction experiences, Bildits not only teaches theoretical concepts but also demonstrates their practical applications, bridging the gap between academic knowledge and real-life skills.

 

Alignment with International Curricula & Customization

Bildits Education is aligned with most prominent international curricula and offers customization options for each schools to to align its content with their educational goals.International curricula covered to date:

  1. IB (International Baccalaureate)
  2. Cambridge Curriculum
  3. US Curriculum (NGSS + Common Core)

Bildits is designed with flexibility in mind, enabling schools to tailor the program to their specific educational goals and needs. The team at Bildits works closely with partner schools to customize content, ensuring seamless integration into the curriculum. This customization allows schools to emphasize particular subjects or learning outcomes, making the program highly effective in various educational settings. The Bildits Education Program has been widely adopted throughout the GCC by schools following Cambridge, IB, and US curricula.

Serving as a complementary curriculum, Bildits lesson plans enhance rather than replace regular classroom chapters or plans. This mapping process involves analyzing curriculum standards, identifying key themes and objectives, and developing strategies and activities that effectively support students’ understanding through hands-on, inquiry-based learning experiences.

Educational Benefits

Bildits leverages the hands-on and interdisciplinary nature of the world of construction and design to offer learners educational benefits across three levels:

  1. Development of 21st Century Skills
  2. Grade-specific skills aligned with mapped curricula
  3. Foundational skills in engineering and design
  1. Development of 21st Century Skills
    • Bildits fosters curiosity and critical thinking by encouraging students to actively engage with construction and architecture topics through inquiry-based learning. Instead of being passive learners, students explore new ideas, ask questions, and investigate concepts while solving real-world construction challenges. This process enhances their ability to analyze problems, evaluate solutions, and make informed decisions, all while reflecting on their choices to improve their work.
    • Moreover, Bildits equips students with practical skills that extend beyond the classroom. These include manual dexterity, the ability to use tools safely and effectively, and an understanding of construction techniques. By integrating these practical experiences with academic content, Bildits prepares students to think like engineers and designers, ready to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts.
  2. Grade-specific skills aligned with mapped curricula
    • Bildits Education is tailored to meet the developmental needs of students in each grade, integrating hands-on construction activities with key curriculum objectives to support foundational skill-building.
    • Each unit is carefully aligned with the learning objectives outlined in the school’s adopted curriculum, tailored to each grade level across subjects such as math, science, and art. For instance, students engage with fundamental concepts like shapes and measurements in math and explore forces and materials in science, all through hands-on construction projects.
  3. Foundational skills in engineering and design
    • Bildits Education fosters foundational skills in engineering and design through a hands-on, project-based approach, gradually increasing in complexity as students advance. This includes understanding core principles such as structure, function, and basic mechanics.
    • This real-world application helps students grasp engineering principles in a tangible way, making abstract ideas more concrete and understandable.
