Ready? It's Easier Than You Think

From Sign-Up to Building
in 3 Simple Steps

No experience needed. No complicated setup. Just unbox, log in, and let Sam guide the way.

01

Pick Your Child's Track

Answer two quick questions — age and interest — and we match your child to the perfect learning path. Takes 60 seconds.

02

Your Kit Ships to Your Door

Real hardware — BBC micro:bit V2 or Arduino UNO R4 WiFi or XIAO ESP32S3 Sense — arrives in a branded DLK box. No assembly required.

03

Build, Learn & Earn Badges

Sam AI walks your child through every lesson — hands-on, interactive, and fun. Real skills. Real badges. Real confidence.

The Curriculum

What Students Build Mastery In

From their first circuit to deploying AI at the edge — every lesson is a step toward the future your child will actually live in.

We take students on a journey from discovery to mastery — through IoT, Coding, Cybersecurity, and Generative AI, all the way to Agentic and Physical AI. These aren't trends. They are the foundational skills of every career, every industry, and every opportunity in the decades ahead.

Screen time is inevitable. The question is what it builds. Synapse turns hours in front of a screen into hands-on engineering, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving — productive, educational screen time that compounds. Not scrolling. Building.

Logic & Computational Thinking

Students learn to break problems into steps, write conditions, and reason through systems — using Scratch and MakeCode block editors before moving to text-based code.

Sensors & Signals

Reading light, temperature, and motion with micro:bit V2, Arduino UNO R4 WiFi, and XIAO ESP32S3 Sense — and responding to it in code.

Robotics & Motion

Servos, motors, and movement with VEX and Lego systems — turning code into physical action.

AI Prompt Literacy

Students work with Sam AI to learn prompt engineering — communicating with AI, not just using it.

3D Design & Fabrication

From digital model to physical object — students design in 3D and bring it to life on a printer.

Cybersecurity

Understanding threats, protecting systems, and thinking like a defender. Age-appropriate across all three tracks — from online safety awareness to ethical hacking and network defense.

IoT & Connectivity

Connecting hardware to the internet with sensors, Bluetooth, and WiFi — students build devices that send data, trigger remote actions, and talk to the world.

Our Story

Why Synapse Built This

Synapse has been doing hands-on STEM in Orlando since 2016 — circuits, microcontrollers, 3D design, real code, real hardware. Over 2,500 students later, one thing hasn't changed: parents want to continue that level of learning at home.

So we built it ourselves. The Synapse Platform brings everything we've learned in the lab — directly to families nationwide.
