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.

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.
