The Global Innovation Race 2024 waitlist opens soon! Design the future with AI.
Why take an Engineering Course?
It’s impossible to imagine our lives without Engineering! Engineers have a hand in designing nearly everything in our daily lives. Things like cars, computers, bubble bum and movie special effects are all products of imaginative engineering.
As a vehicle for the integration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) into K-12 settings, as well as an outlet for creative problem solving and design-thinking, Engineering actively engage students through design-based projects while deepening their understanding of fundamental concepts.
The National Academy of Engineering has identified six important engineering “habits of mind”: creativity, optimism, systems thinking, collaboration, communication and ethical considerations. These six ways of seeing the world are essential for all 21st century citizens as we seek to improve the ever-changing and increasingly complex world around us.
What if your school does not offer Engineering?
If you are a parent, encourage your child to learn at home. Register for remote learning, or take an in-person course in one of our operators. Find all the information about our Engineering courses here and choose your preferred learning delivery method. If you are an educator, does your school offer Engineering? If it does not, you can help bring Engineering to your school, or expand the offerings. Become a partner or check out our learning centres and how to become one.
Educators who have yet to bring engineering into the classroom may be surprised at what they can teach students, and what students can discover within themselves.
