Power Engineers
Engineering
In the Power Engineers educational program, children unleash their imagination and ingenuity! They incorporate electrical elements into their designs and experiment with the fundamental physical concepts of energy, mass, force and time! The movement of the constructions is carried out with different forms of energy (electric, dynamic, wind, etc.). The involvement of the human factor in the movement of the construction is limited to starting or stopping it by using a switch, discovering their role in controlling electrical circuits. In addition, they pave the way for the creation of the first automation systems by combining Mechanics and Programming.
Objectives of the program:
By the end of the program, students will be able to:
- Understand simple concepts of physics, mathematics, engineering
- Become familiar with mechanics through Electrical Machines
- Strengthen their geospatial perception and orientation which is directly linked to mathematical thinking
- Cultivate skills such as observation, critical thinking, creativity, imagination, ingenuity and reasoning
- Gain new experiences and knowledge by formulating new questions and hypotheses
- Cultivate their ability to interpret natural phenomena through observation and experimentation
