Take this Course 
This course will introduce the child to a systems approach to engineering solutions in both mechanics and electronics. It will present a way to view solutions found in both the natural and engineered world as systems that respond to different inputs and provide desired outputs that are determined by a purposefully designed process stage.

It will present a way to view solutions found in both the natural and engineered world as systems that respond to different inputs and provide desired outputs that are determined by a purposufully designed process stage.
Key Objectives
To introduce the child to a systems approach to engineering.
To expose the child to a range of electronic and mechanical components.
For the child to appreciate how these components work together to form a system that produces a desired output by processing a given input.
ā The course will combine theoretical ideas about systems and allow the child to put these into action through practical activities related to electronics and mechanics
