Tej Acton Academy : Find Your Calling, Change the World

At our Newton’s Toy Exhibition, learners didn’t follow instructions, they created their own toys.

Through building, they experienced physics in action including gravity, motion, and cause and effect, and naturally developed engineering skills by testing, adjusting, and improving their designs.

Learning by building
Understanding by doing

Even in the warm weather, our learners leaned into curiosity and creativity. At the creek, they worked together to build a small dam using wood and stones. One of their favorite discoveries? The water held by the dam was noticeably warmer than the flowing creek. A simple build turned into a real-world science exploration.

From bridges to motion ⚙️🌉

In our Physics Quest, learners explored the genius of the Da Vinci bridge, engineered their own marble runs, and uncovered the power of simple machines.

Each build, test, and redesign brought ideas to life through hands, not just words.

At our studio, we take hands-on learning seriously.

Balloon cars racing with momentum.
Newton’s cradles transferring energy.
Boats and rafts testing buoyancy.

Build it. Test it. Improve it.
This is how our learners discover the laws of the universe.

What happens when a passionate parent steps into the studio?

A hands-on Micro:bit coding and robotics session full of curiosity, problem-solving, and excitement. 💻🤖

Our learners didn’t just follow instructions—they explored, tested ideas, and created their own projects.

Grateful for a community where parents contribute their expertise and make learning come alive.

Today marked Day 1 of Newton’s Toy Workshop session and the studio was buzzing with energy. Ideas are forming.
Hands are building.
Curiosity is everywhere.

Today we explored the Stanford Educational Farm, Red Barn Equestrian Center, and Stanford’s main campus.

Learners experienced working farm systems, saw horses up close, and walked through a world-class university environment. Learning comes alive when learners can see, touch, and experience it firsthand.
