The “Early Simple Machines” course focuses on hands-on, interactive learning to help children explore and understand the basic concepts of simple machines and physical forces. It also aims to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity—essential skills in STEM education.

Children will explore:

• Levers: How levers work and how they help move objects with less effort.
• Pulleys: Discovering how pulleys function and how they change the direction and amount of force needed to lift objects.
• Wheels and Axles: Understanding how wheels and axles support movement and transportation (e.g., in cars).
• Gears: Learning how gears affect movement, speed, and force (e.g., in spinning wheels).
• Energy and Matter: Exploring the concept of energy and how it can be transferred.
• Forces and Motion: Gaining a basic understanding of forces like push, pull, and friction, and their effects on the movement and shape of objects.

The program also emphasizes 21st-century skills, particularly:

• Problem-Solving: Encouraging critical thinking through hands-on challenges.
• Teamwork: Promoting collaboration and communication through group activities.
