Mission.io: Kindergarten Engineering Activities That Spark Creativity & Learning

Exciting Digital STEM Challenges for Young Learners

Engineering isn’t just for older students—and it isn’t about memorizing facts. Mission.io introduces kindergarten students to the heart of engineering: solving meaningful problems with creativity and collaboration. Our digital missions drop students into exciting scenarios where they must explore, design, and make decisions as a team. These on-screen adventures are tied to what students are already learning in class, helping them apply their knowledge in new, purposeful ways—no popsicle sticks or cleanup required.
