A learning path from first gears to real robots

Our programs build on each other. Kids start with the mechanical fundamentals behind every machine, add coding and algorithmic thinking, and graduate to designing and programming their own robots.

Bricks Challenge model built by a Young Engineers student
Step 1 of 4

Bricks Challenge

Classical mechanics with building blocks

  • 👧 Ages 6-10
  • 75 min / lesson
  • 📚 36 lessons

An introduction to STEM and classical mechanics through motorized building-block models. Kids discover forces, energy, torque, leverage, gears and transmissions, the same fundamentals every robot is built on.

Step 2 of 4

Galileo Technic

Advanced mechanical engineering

  • 👧 Ages 7-10
  • 75 min / lesson
  • 📚 36 lessons

A deep dive into mechanical engineering: gearboxes, transmission ratios, kinematic chains and motion, building complex machines from manual cars to oscillating fans.

AlgoPlay model built by a Young Engineers student
Step 3 of 4

AlgoPlay

Coding meets mechanical engineering

  • 👧 Ages 6-10
  • 75 min / lesson
  • 📚 36 lessons

Kids build a model, then program it with tangible coding blocks, learning algorithms, loops, conditions and debugging the way real roboticists do: hands on.

Step 4 of 4

RoboToys

Build and code real robots

  • 👧 Ages 9-12
  • 75 min / lesson
  • 📚 36 lessons

The bridge from mechanical fundamentals to the robotics era: kids design, build and program advanced robots, combining mechanics with real coding.
