Young minds moulded into engineers at TKSWR
"Engineering concepts are a great way for children to deepen their understanding of STEM skills by navigating their natural curiosity."
With innovations in technology and manufacturing emerging every day, it makes sense to prepare the next generation to be thinking about solutions to common problems.
Naturally, preschool children who are still fresh in the education process love exploring and figuring out how things work.
Friday, January 21 saw the young minds at The King’s School West Rand (TKSWR) being introduced to science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) in the form of a childhood development programmes offered by Young Engineers West Rand.
Young Engineers is an extra-mural activity offered at TKSWR preschool and Grade RR/R that ensures lots of fun while learning.
On the day TKSWR pre-schoolers demonstrated that they were hands-on learners and that there was no better way for children to be introduced to basic engineering concepts and motor skills than through building blocks, marbles and sand-pit activities.
Michelle Dos Ramos from TKSWR told the Northsider that engineering concepts are a great way for children to deepen their understanding of STEM skills by navigating their natural curiosity.
Young Engineers West Rand provides knowledge in STEM basics through the most enjoyable way of using LEGO.
