At Engineering For Kids we focus on STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) education by offering fun, hands-on learning for children. We believe that children are natural born engineers who have unlimited imaginations and we try to harness that curiosity through a curriculum aimed at sparking a lifelong passion for learning.
Hardware Engineering: Digital and Physical Interface
9 am – 12 pm
Imagine designing a piano using celery or creating a custom digital training program. Now, envision playing
video games using just your body, a bit of wire and your own imagination. In our hardware engineering
program, students engineer their own customized video game controllers using a Makey Makey device and
materials that can be found in just about any kitchen. Through application of circuitry, acoustical engineering
and video game design, students discover new ways to interact with technology, all while creating unique
designs in a fun collaborative environment.

LEGO Robotics: Robo Games
12:30 pm – 3:30 pm
A robot is a device that is designed and programmed to perform a task either autonomously or with human
input. Robots typically come in two forms: those resembling humans or role-specific robots, such as NASA
space probes and Mars Rovers. This Robotics: RoboGames curriculum is designed to introduce students to the
world of not only building, but also programming basic robots. In this unit, students will design their robots to
play games.
