Little Explorers

Engineering

Welcome to the world of Steam for preschool ages, a world full of surprises, contemplation, exploration, and discoveries. Children even from their infancy tend to experiment and try to discover how the world around them works.

But do they always come into contact with the appropriate stimuli to cultivate this innate ability? By providing children with the appropriate stimuli and tools, we will wonder, explore, and travel together to the world of natural sciences, engineering, mathematics, and art. We will get to know scientists, inventors, and artists who have made significant contributions to the advancement of sciences.

How is this possible? This particular program incorporates our three core programs: BeeBot, Early Simple Machines and Experiments, with the ultimate goal of allowing our little friends to develop algorithmic thinking, construct functional models and forms, and experiment with a range of different materials, discovering their properties.

The boundless imagination of children, their creativity, and their tendency for exploration form a strong foundation for us to approach new concepts together and encourage them to cultivate a positive interaction with the world of technology as well as natural sciences, from preschool age.

Όλο αυτό το φανταστικό ταξίδι στη Μηχανική και στις Φυσικές Επιστήμες θα το ζήσουν οι Λιλιπούτειοι Επιστήμονες μας, αναπτύσσοντας παράλληλα δεξιότητες όπως:

►Ομαδικότητα (Teamwork)

►Επιστημονικό λεξιλόγιο

►Λεπτή Κινητικότητα

►Αυτοπεποίθηση

►Ενσυναίσθηση για το περιβάλλον

►Μαθηματική σκέψη

Λιλιπούτειοι Επιστήμονες τώρα, πραγματικοί στο μέλλον!

Objectives of the program

By the end of the program, students will be able to:

  1. Introduce them to basic physics, mathematics, engineering and algorithmic/programming concepts such as sequence and code in a hands-on way
  2. Become familiar with the use and programming of Bee-Bot
  3. Enhance their spatial perception and orientation, which is directly related to mathematical thinking
  4. Foster skills such as observation, critical thinking, creativity, imagination, inventiveness, and reasoning
  5. Be introduced to the world of Physics and Chemistry through creative play, developing a positive attitude towards the natural sciences
  6. Gain new experiences and knowledge by formulating new questions and hypotheses
  7. Cultivate their ability to interpret natural phenomena through observation and experimentation.
