Marble Run Mania for Early Learners Enquire Now 🧸 Preschool & Early Learning Marble Run: Engineering Challenge Creativity and problem-solving for budding engineers! Using highly accessible materials, your preschoolers will have a blast as they create their own designs to solve a series of challenges. Designed to allow children to explore movement in a constructive environment, this workshop allows them to rapidly predict, test, modify, and implement their ideas! NB: The balls used are too large to be a choking hazard and have been designed specifically for use in early learning centres. Specifically, this workshop covers: 🔄 Movement: How things start, move, and stop. 🧩 Problem Solving: Planning and execution of ideas. 💡 Creative Thinking: Sequencing and spatial reasoning. 🛠️ Modification: The iterative “predict, test, and change” model. Trustpilot Trusted Early Learning Specialists Trustpilot Enquire Today ✨ STEM Foundations Engineering in early childhood sets the stage for logical reasoning. Led by a Churchill Fellow, our programs inspire wonder while building critical fine motor and spatial skills.

ELYF links to all of our preschool science workshops Victorian Curriculum Objects and parts of the world around us have names and particular characteristics (VCSSU021) Objects can move in different ways (VCSSU025) Supported to engage in simple scientific inquiry (VCSIS026) Supported to use the senses to identify some characteristics (VCSIS027) Make links between observations and findings (VCSIS029) Science is about exploring the world around me (VCSSU031) Actively join in exploration of familiar objects and events (VCSIS036) Use both general terms and simple, scientific vocabulary to begin to describe their activities and observations (VCSIS040) Engaging for early learners! What do the kids get to do? This lesson is entirely child-led and discovery-driven. Our presenter and your teachers work directly with the children to facilitate learning and deeper understanding of why things move. The workshop is a series of open-ended engineering challenges that encourage toddlers and preschoolers to experiment: Loop the Loop: Can they make the ball travel a full circle? The Big Jump: How far can they make the ball fly through the air? Distance & Speed: How fast or how far can the ball travel? Creative Iteration: Adding materials to improve and modify designs. Duration The program is perfectly paced for younger attention spans, combining short demonstrations and guided building activities during the interactive 60 minutes.
