Social Learning

While Motif Club is a self-paced learning program, at the beginning and end of every session the students convene in the digital club room for group learning activities.

The club has a points system, leader board, and fun nicknames which build camaraderie. We also play online games like Minetest. (Learn more about Minetest in our FAQ section on the homepage).

So Many Skills!

Each student works at their own pace to advance through our 50+ STEM badge skill tree. They receive their own personalized skill tree that fills in as they advance.

Student's get to choose their own path through their skill tree. They can learn Graphic Design, 3D Animation, Coding, Audio Production, Video Game Development and much more!

STEM Mentorship

One of our highly knowledgeable instructors leads the club in group conversations & learning. Then the student's break off into self-paced modules while the instructor stands by to answer questions.

They coach the students through their STEM learning journey by providing feedback, giving direction, and steering them down the right path in a caring and encouraging way.
