Neuroscientists studies shows that our minds absorb new information through sensory integration.

Complex thinking processes are encouraged by challenges and discouraged by negative emotions, such as fear and pressure. e² Young Engineers’ approach provides a fun and interactive learning experience, installing positive memories and ensuring a positive connection is made with learning.

• Interest and love for STEM
• Independent, critical and creative thinking skills
• Sense of curiosity
• Problem solving skills
• Team work capabilities
• Self-confidence and a sense of self-efficacy
• Computer orientation

e² Young Engineers provide an engaging, hands-on learning platform. Each session starts with a theory lesson, focusing on a specific principle or concept, followed by a practical building phase where the children build a specific model using K’nex® or Lego® blocks, which practically illustrates the theory and demonstrates the scientific principles in a fun and accessible fashion; combining experiments that form scientific intuition with stories that capture the imagination.
