Early eLearning
What you’ll learn
-
Kids race cars down a high and a low ramp to see which is faster. They make a prediction, run two trials, and notice that higher ramps usually mean faster cars. A 5-question quiz checks cause-and-effect and fair-test ideas (same start each time).
-
Kids compare a square frame and a triangle frame under the same push. They observe that triangles stay rigid while squares can wobble unless braced. A short quiz confirms recognition of triangles and why they’re used in strong structures.
-
Kids test a flat panel versus a folded (ridged) panel with equal weight. They see that folds make materials stiffer so they bend less—like tin roofs or corrugated cardboard. A quick quiz reinforces the idea that added folds increase strength.

Course FAQ
-
What is Early Engineers eLearning and who is it for?
Early Engineers eLearning is a hands-on, project-based program designed for young learners (ages 2–4 and beyond) to explore STEM concepts through play, creativity, and problem-solving. It’s built for parents, teachers, and caregivers who want to give children an engaging introduction to engineering and design thinking in a safe, structured environment. -
Do I need prior engineering or technical experience to participate?
Not at all! The program is designed for beginners. Each unit provides clear, step-by-step guidance, teacher/parent notes, and age-appropriate activities. Children will learn by experimenting, building, and reflecting, while adults can guide using the provided instructions without needing a technical background. -
What materials or technology are required?
Most activities use simple, everyday materials (like paper, blocks, or classroom supplies) that are easy to find. For digital lessons, students and teachers will also use basic devices (tablet, laptop, or classroom iPads).
