Creative Engineers
Engineering
We welcome you to the educational journey that will introduce your children to the world of STEM in the most fun way. The program is structured in such a way that from simple concepts and small constructions, by the end they will be able to program, give movement and “feel” to their models.
Children will learn and understand the basic building blocks of a structure, while at the same time being able to understand their usefulness in the real world. Then, with these tools in their hands, they will be able to “build” more complex models by adding movement. They begin to work on new components such as batteries, motors and sensors.
Once the children have mastered the role of the little engineer, they are introduced to the field of programming. A robot must obey commands. And how is this to be done? They learn the first programming concepts with the WeDo 2.0 software. The WeDo 2.0 environment is suitable for young children, as they learn with pictorial programming, making it feel like a game.
Objectives of the program
By the end of the program, students will be able to:
- Learn the mechanical and physical principles behind machines
- Create complex technology models from combinations of Simple Machines
- Deepen algorithmic thinking and basic programming structures by creating programs in WeDo 2.0
- Recognize the programming factor behind the operation of a machine
