Question 5

What happens in a Young Engineers session?

Each session starts with an engaging introduction connecting engineering concepts to real-world examples.

In Coding & Robotics sessions, kids assemble and program their own robots using Bluetooth-connected tablets — everything is offline and screen-safe.
