Program 2: Developing Engineers
8 Weeks
September 29th- November 17th
Tuesdays 4:40PM-5:40PM
Grades 3-5
Lyceum Room, EB Newton 1st Floor
Designed to give students a deeper introduction to mechanical engineering through hands-on, project-based learning using LEGO® bricks. Building on foundational engineering concepts, students explore how machines work by investigating gears, pulleys, levers, wheels, axles, and other mechanical components.
Throughout the program, students take part in structured building challenges that encourage them to design, test, and refine their creations. They learn how mechanical systems transfer energy and motion, and how different parts work together to solve real-world problems.
Activities are carefully paced and age-appropriate, allowing students to grasp more advanced concepts while remaining engaged and motivated.
The Mechanical Masterminds program emphasizes problem-solving, logical thinking, and teamwork. Students work both independently and in small groups, practicing communication and collaboration as they share ideas and improve their designs.
Trial and error is an important part of the learning process, helping students build perseverance and confidence in their abilities.
