Galileo Technic takes students to the next level in STEM education. Students continue to build motorised LEGO® models – but the scale and complexity of the model increases significantly. Students will:
✓ Learn advanced physics concepts and explore known concepts at a deeper level ✓ Learn new maths and mechanical engineering principles ✓ Use long chains of gears in machine design ✓ Greater emphasis on teamwork and collaboration ✓ Learn to test and troubleshoot their machines – just like real engineers!
Overview of Galilieo Technic Sessions
All sessions follows the Learn-Prototype-Experiment-Imagine format.
✓ Learn – the STEM concepts through stories and anecdotes ✓ Prototype – a LEGO® model that applies the concept in a real-world setting ✓ Experiment – modifying the completed model can be scary yet satisfying. Children are encouraged to take risks to learn cause-consequences. ✓ Imagine – children are challenged to think outside the box to imagine the possibilities of their creations.
Other Galileo Technic Objectives
✓ Encourage independent and creative thinking ✓ Develop the ability to analyze engineering processes ✓ Acquire engineering implementation skills Expand problem-solving skills ✓ Provide general knowledge of laws of physics and various natural phenomena ✓ Progress sense of self-efficacy and time management ✓ Improve communication and interpersonal skills ✓ Boost team-building abilities
