Miniengineering 1
Extent:
2 semesters, 15 lessons per semester, each 60 minutes
Recommended age:
4 to 6 years
Description:
In Miniengineering 1 - module students learn the basics of simple mechanics and they are introduced to different non-complex mechanical structures and terms.
Learning objectives:
- learn to build and combine different simple mechanical structures.
- learn basic mechanical terminology and concepts.
- learn abstract thinking and problem-solving.
- understand basics of the physical phenomena in mechanical structures.
- learn to make simple tests and observe.
- learn to make up comparative and fair tests.
- learn to identify and classify parts of mechanical structures.
Implementation:
Each lesson has its own theme. During each lesson there is a short theory of the theme. The goal is that each student learns the basics of the theme, terminology and theory, and is able to implement it in practice. Each theme includes hands-on working and exercises during which student is able to build the mechanisms and structures independently.
Equipment and materials:
Basic STEM lego set, digital/physical lesson plans and videos.
