DAMN Digital Studio Shares 10 Tech Activities to Increase a Child’s Interest in STEM

Oct. 1, 2012 - PRLog -- DAMN Digital Studio, an interactive and branding agency in New York City’s Digital District of Dumbo, Brooklyn, knows that technology can bring together parents and their kids. From fire to electricity, the wheel to the plow, technology has always been about improving the human experience. Through the improvements technology has offered, society has explored new ways to communicate with each other, complete tasks and entertain oneself.

As DAMN Digital prepares to release the second installment of Nick Versus, which will focus on a young boy in NYC learning STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math), the agency shares suggestions on how parents can increase their child’s interest in technology.

Interactive
•Use Intructables (http://www.instructables.com), a website where people share what they do and how they do it, to build DIYs (Do-it-Yourselves).
•Make a family tree application with the MIT visual interface and Instagram.
•Build and program your own Lego Robot.
•Teach your kids, or have someone teach them, how to jailbreak an iPhone.
•Make home movies, letting the kids do the technical work of script building, camera shots and editing or make a how-to video or a reality show.

Relaxing    
•Play StarTrek Online or watch the full Star Trek series.
•Play the popular mobile game, Words With Friends.
•Get active with sports and dance games on Kinect, but move the activity outside with a projector.

Vacation Trips
•Book these family vacations: a trip to the Kids Interactive Tech Expo or the Space Craft Expo, visit NASA's satellites, or explore the Virgin Galactic SpacePort.
•Universal Studios 3D rides are 1,000 times better than what’s available in the movie theater or at home. The Transformers 3D ride, which opened this year, has already become a popular family attraction.
