Question 5

What happens in a Young Engineers session?

Accepted Answer

Each session starts with an engaging introduction connecting engineering concepts to real-world examples. Children then use exclusive Young Engineers kits to build working models such as cranes, vehicles, and robots. Sessions include creative exploration, teamwork challenges, and a group reflection. In Coding & Robotics sessions, kids assemble and program their own robots using Bluetooth-connected tablets — everything is offline and screen-safe.

Question 6

How long is each session and how many students are in a class?

Sessions typically run 45 to 75 minutes and can be tailored to your school's schedule. The ideal group size is 14 to 28 students, though we can accommodate smaller or larger groups. Multiple groups can run in parallel for larger schools.
