Plagium is a service, now in beta test, of Septet Systems Inc. Septet Systems Inc. focuses on the development of innovative information search solutions for consumers, enterprises, government, academics, and healthcare.

A Program Designed to Encourage Kids to Think Outside of the Box

Exploration/Tinkering Exploratory play is about asking questions: "What happens when I do this?" "What if I did it this way?" Experimenting with materials and pushing their limits encourages us to consider a wide range of possibilities when problem-solving. Playing around with objects and ideas helps us see that there may be more than one solution. Some inventors have a goal in mind and work persistently toward it. Others stumble across solutions to problems they weren't trying to solve.
