Galileo Technic

Advanced mechanical engineering

Galileo Technic is an advanced program that explores comprehensive mechanical engineering principles. Each lesson introduces a distinct machine or concept, covering gear shifting, gearbox mechanisms, transmission ratios, circular/linear/elliptical/oscillatory motion, angular momentum, gyroscopes, universal joints, kinematic chains and more, then connects it to real-world applications.

What kids learn

  • Gear shifting, gearboxes and transmission ratios
  • Circular, linear, elliptical and oscillatory motion
  • Angular momentum and gyroscopes
  • Kinematic chains and mechanical automation
  • Potential vs. kinetic energy and steering mechanisms

What kids build

Aircraft, transportation machines, cranes, gadgets and games, moving animals and figures, simple machines.
