What age is STEM Engineering suitable for?

Our STEM & Engineering pathway runs from age 6 through 12, with Brick Challenge for ages 6–10 and Galileo Technic for ages 8–12.

Does my child need previous STEM experience?

No. The Young Engineers curriculum is beginner friendly and progresses gradually so newcomers and returning students both stay engaged.

What engineering concepts are taught?

Students learn force and motion, energy transfer, simple machines, gears and transmissions, mechanical coordination, and engineering design.

Can I book a trial class?

Yes — you can book a trial class directly from any program page. We'll recommend the best fit based on your child's age and experience.

How often do projects change?

Every class features a new hands-on build, so children stay challenged and curious across the entire term.

What is the difference between Brick Challenge and Galileo Technic?

Brick Challenge introduces foundational engineering for ages 6–10. Galileo Technic is the advanced track for ages 8–12, with deeper mechanical engineering — gear ratios, transmission systems, rotational movement, and more.
