Accredited by the World STEM FederationWe write the STEAM and AI curriculum that sits inside the school week, not beside it. Since 2017, more than 100,000 students have finished a NASCA programme, and the World STEM Federation accredits the work.
A working session in one of our partner schools.
Quick answer
NASCA is a STEAM education partner accredited by the World STEM Federation. We work inside classrooms in seven countries where we have partner schools: India, the US, UAE, UK, Singapore, Saudi Arabia and Australia, and run live cohorts for schools in 30 markets across Asia, the Gulf, Africa, Europe, North America and Oceania. We write K-12 curriculum, train teachers, run applied AI cohorts, and help universities build their own capability, from Pre-K to PhD.
We were started by teachers and parents. Today around 12,000 learners study with us, and a new AI Institute cohort opens on the first Monday of every month.
A day at NASCA
Six classroom blocks. One belief. Children should build with AI, not just consume it.
The same AI engine our curriculum team uses internally. Standards-aligned, grade-tuned, and tested with 100+ partner schools. Free, no signup.
Quick prompts
The 16 sub-streams
Sixteen technology sub-streams stacked into one living shelf. Glide your cursor down. Each one expands to show what children build inside.
Foundations Grade 3–5 · Formal stream Grade 6–12: The defining technical literacy of this generation.
Grade 4–12: Collect it, clean it, question it, and only then draw the graph.
Grade 1–12: Blocks to Python to real software, written, broken and fixed by the student.
Grade 6–12: A working app on a real phone, used by real people in the school.
Grade 1–12: Mechanical design, electronics, embedded code and creative problem-solving on one workbench.
Grade 3–12: Reading the world accurately, then acting on it precisely.
Grade 6–12: The maths a robot actually needs, taught where it is used.
Grade 1–12: From a single LED to multi-sensor circuits designed, wired and debugged by children.
Grade 6–12: Sensors on the wall, data in the cloud, dashboards the whole school reads.
Grade 1–12: The foundational discipline that precedes and informs every other STEAM stream.
Grade 1–12: The five-stage human-centred process, with a 3D printing strand from Grade 5.
Grade 1–5 entry point, continuing to Grade 12: science practised with the world outside the window.
Grade 1–12: Building with technology, not merely using it, from first webpage to deployed app.
Grade 7–12: From digital safety and cryptography to penetration testing, CTF and professional-format reporting.
Grade 10–12: From cryptographic hashing to Solidity contracts on Ethereum testnets.
Grade 11–12: First-principles superposition and entanglement, then real circuits on IBM hardware.
Our promise
We will never bore a child in the name of rigour. We will never replace a teacher with a chatbot. And we will never publish a curriculum we wouldn't put our own children through.

No brochure language. One class, one period, from the question on the board to the thing on the table at the end. If it looks noisier than a normal lesson, that is because it is.

From the journal
The rapid ascent of AI reshapes not just what we teach, but how we prepare young minds for a world being rebuilt. This isn't merely about new courses; it is about cultivating ingenuity, ethics, and a profound adaptability.
Beyond the trophies, Olympiad preparation in India shapes young minds with profound depth, fostering a lifelong love for intricate problems and original thought.
New research shows AI as a potent tool for early childhood education, emphasizing curiosity and personalized learning over screen time. We explore how AI can elevate foundational learning experiences without displacing human connection.
We have spent the last year exploring AI tutors, not as a replacement for human educators, but as a sophisticated support system, tailoring learning paths and fostering genuine curiosity.
From the bustling classrooms of Singapore, we observe a future-focused education system that actively cultivates creativity and critical thinking. This dispatch explores how a nation smaller than many cities is setting a global benchmark for preparing students for an AI-powered world.
As AI continues its steady march into UK classrooms, we consider the vital balance between technological progress and preserving the fundamental human elements of teaching and learning.
AI is not just for coding. It is a new canvas for children to tell stories, to build worlds, and to see their imaginations take tangible form. Discover how AI tools can deepen creativity and critical thinking in your child.
From Dubai to Al Ain, we see how robotics projects are shaping a new generation of innovators in the UAE, preparing children for a future built on ingenuity and invention.
