The Joy of Learning: Inside Our Early Engineers Class

Early Engineers Class

This fall, our Early Engineers class is taking off—literally and figuratively! Designed for preschool-aged learners, this engaging program introduces foundational computer science and engineering concepts through screen-free, hands-on activities. Young engineers are not only having fun but also building essential skills like critical thinking and problem-solving that will last a lifetime. Our Early Engineers class focuses on making learning exciting and accessible for children as young as three. Here’s a look at what your little learners can expect.

Hands-On Learning Activities That Inspire

Our program is built around interactive, play-based learning experiences that lay the groundwork for future success in STEM fields. Here's how we’re nurturing young minds:

  1. Cultivating Pattern Recognition and Logical Thinking
    Using colorful geometric blocks, children learn to identify and create sequences. These exercises develop pattern recognition and logical thinking while sparking creativity.
  2. Exploring Engineering and Design Principles
    Through activities like constructing rockets, bridges, or racing robots, kids develop spatial awareness, modular design literacy, and essential engineering skills. These hands-on projects foster teamwork, critical thinking, and a sense of accomplishment.
  3. Problem-Solving Through Early Math and Data Visualization
    Early math concepts come to life as children build charts to represent data. This activity helps young engineers develop problem-solving skills and mathematical reasoning through interactive exploration.
  4. Computational Thinking Through Screen-Free Coding Adventures
    Through intuitive, screen-free coding tools like Indi the Robot, students are introduced to basic coding concepts. They’ll learn how cause-and-effect relationships work while navigating through obstacle courses of their own design.
  5. Exploring Circuits and Electricity
    Hands-on circuit-building projects using Snap Circuits demystify electronics and introduce kids to the basics of electrical engineering.

Why Early Engineering Matters

At such a formative age, every new skill is a stepping stone to greater cognitive development. Through activities that blend creativity and critical thinking, children in the Early Engineers class are not just learning—they’re growing into problem-solvers and innovators.

Join the Fun at The Coding Space

Our Early Engineers class is the perfect introduction to the exciting world of STEM. Whether your child is building a rocket, programming a robot, or solving a circuit puzzle, they’ll be developing skills that prepare them for future success.
