Creative Engineers
Engineering
In the Creative Engineers program, children become true inventors, combining their love of building with the power of programming!
Building on the solid foundation gained through simple machines, children will now integrate technology into the heart of their creations. They will discover how basic sensors work and learn how to use them to give their creations “senses” and reactions!
Through the user-friendly environment of Scratch, children will program their creations to interact with their surroundings! They will learn to think algorithmically, design automations, and see their ideas come to life in impressive ways on the screen and in their creations.
Objectives of the program:
By the end of the program, students will be able to:
- Deepen their understanding of mechanical principles by combining them with sensor technology.
- Design and build advanced models that incorporate sensors for automated functions.
- Understand how basic sensors (e.g., distance, tilt) work and how they are applied in real-world systems.
- Apply programming principles in Scratch to control the behavior of their creations through sensors.
- Develop the ability to solve complex problems by combining mechanics, sensors, and programming.
Build their confidence as creators and programmers by seeing their ideas come to life in new, interactive ways.
