It’s one step ahead of the build-it-yourself sets that children spend hours on.
Here your students learn to schedule and sequence activities which is one of the prime requisites of engineering.
Academic focus will be on science, mathematics and language arts.
Setting a foundation for successful STEM learning later on in their schooling.
Hands-on engineering activities empower young children to see themselves as problem solvers.
Early Childhood Development (ECD) refers to the physical, cognitive, linguistic, and socio-emotional development of a child from the prenatal stage up to age eight.
An engineer is a person who designs and builds complex products, machines, systems, or structures. Engineers want to know how and why things work. They have scientific training that they use to make practical things. Engineers often specialize in a specific branch of engineering.
Engineering calls for children to apply what they know about science and math and their learning is enhanced as a result. At the same time, because engineering activities are based on real-world technologies and problems, they help children see how disciplines like math and science are relevant to their lives.
There are many reasons to start engineering early: children can practice important skills, discover capabilities they didn't know they had, and set a foundation for successful STEM learning later on in their schooling. Hands-on engineering activities empower young children to see themselves as problem solvers
“STEM” stands for science, technology, engineering and math. STEM can refer to the subjects individually or one or more working together, but can also mean a way of doing things that includes solving problems, asking questions, and exploring the world around us
You may track your child's physical development at well-child check-ups, but physical development covers only one domain of the five major domains of early childhood development. Your child's social, cognitive, communicative and adaptive development determines future success as much as physical development.
