GaliLEGO
The GaliLEGO program investigates mechanical systems from a real engineer’s point of view. The program focuses on finding solutions using teamwork in order to build complex machines. Children will explore the mechanical, mathematical and physical aspects of machinery and the logic process that goes into building them.
Suitable for: 5th–9th grade OR Young Engineers’ LEGO Challenge graduates
Average lesson duration: 75 minutes
Young Engineers LEGO Challenge Enrichment Program
The Values and GoalsThe main goal of the GaliLEGO enrichment program is to provide children with theoretical knowledge on the basic principles of mathematics, science and engineering using motorized LEGO® and other methods that produce motion. The program also aims to train children to solve practical riddles. The highlight of each lesson is the building stage of a model that demonstrates the lesson’s subject using LEGO® bricks. Each participant receives our unique Young Engineers kit which has been designed and manufactured especially for this purpose.
