Program Duration: 1 year (Tentative).
Age group: 6 to 15.
The program, “Engineering For Children” consists of three levels, with each level increasing the intensity of knowledge students learn. Each level has been designed to develop their ability to understand more complex topics, improve their critical and analytical thinking abilities and to improve their skills at communication and teamwork. As these are some of the most demanding real-life skills required by the present world and for children to learn this at this age, they will hopefully be way ahead of most of the people when they grow up to face the real world.
The program is just not a regular after school program or an extracurricular activity, rather, we believe that this is about grooming children into becoming the next tech innovators from Bangladesh so that they can make tangible impacts on people’s lives and change the world for the better.

Program Summary
Level 3
In this level, students will have to come up with innovative ideas that potentially solve any of the existing problems in any part of the globe or just simply can leave an impact on people’s lives. This can be based on any field of Engineering i.e Electronics, Computer Science or Robotics. Students may require to form small teams with their peers depending on their projects. The Tech Lab department of Education and department of R&D will be facilitating students throughout the process with the knowledge required for the accomplishment of the projects.
Level 1
Level 1 introduces students to the following topics giving them the basic knowledge on Programming, Electronics and Robotics and to help them understand more as they progress through the levels. 1. Microcontrollers 2. Sensors 3. Applied Physics and Electronics 4. Computer Science
Level 2
Level 2 is more focused on the software side. Students get to work in the field of Game, Mobile and Web App development. This also engages them with analytical thinking and problem solving as they are required to solve different real-life problems with their idea and knowledge. The objective of the level is to have a 2D game created by each of the students.
