At FOREward Thinkers, our mission is to inspire the next generation of golfers and innovators by integrating STEM learning into the game of golf. We aim to teach students how science, technology, engineering, and math play a role in every aspect of the game—from ball trajectory and club design to course management and data analytics. Join us in transforming ordinary golf experiences into extraordinary learning adventures.
Upcoming Programs
Using the Sphero Mini golf robot and interactive apps, participants will learn coding, physics, and engineering concepts while engaging in golf-based challenges. Additionally, they will design and build their own golf course holes based on unique themes, applying problem-solving and creativity.
