Junior Engineers

Robotic, Coding & Design

Junior Engineers is an immersive and hands-on learning experience designed for children to explore the fascinating world of simple machines and engage in a capstone project involving a Rube Goldberg machine.

Children will be introduced to the principles of mechanics, foster critical thinking, problem-solving skills, boast group collaboration and encourage creativity.

The Creative Tech School emphasizes creativity through technology to promote curiosity and hands on learning for 5 to 12 year olds. Each program in the year round course is themed to engage and spark their imagination.

Adventures to spark creativity

After-school programs run for 6-7 sessions with once or twice a week attendance.. Each session last for two hours. An immersive storyline threads the standalone sessions into one cohesive adventure.Through the weekly activities, we prioritize technological variety, group collaboration, and fun engagement to encourage children to freely exercise their creative abilities.
