Young Engineers
The international e² Young Engineers curriculum, which we deliver in Estonia as a licensed partner. A child does not sit through a lecture — they build. The model is finished within the lesson, and behind it there is always a real law of physics.
What happens in a lesson
Every lesson opens with a short story or a question — why a crane does not topple, how a gear multiplies force, what makes a robot turn. Then the children build the model, test it and change it until it works.
In the older groups programming joins in: the model gets a motor, sensors and instructions the child writes themselves.
Why it suits a child
The result is physical and immediate. A child who does not enjoy sitting over a workbook sees the outcome of their work at once — and picks up ideas from maths and physics through doing rather than through a definition.
Levels
-
Big Builders
4-6 a.v. A first meeting with science: preschoolers explore simple ideas from mechanics and nature by building with their own hands. -
Algo Buddy
4-6 a.v. A playful introduction to coding — the robot is set moving with blocks and buttons, no screen involved. -
Bricks Challenge
6-10 a.v. The foundations of classical mechanics: levers, gears, balance and the transfer of force. -
Galileo Technic
7-10 a.v. More complex mechanisms and models with greater functionality, which need a plan before the building starts. -
Algo Play
6-10 a.v. Programming through the hands-on Algobrix® language — instructions are assembled as physical blocks. -
Robo Toys
9-12 a.v. Mechanics, robotics and programming together: the model gets sensors and behaves the way the child tells it to.
