Simple machines. Creative enhancements.

Discover the wonders of engineering with our Grade 2 building projects! Our Young Engineer fieldtrips will inspire your students as they learn about design, construction, and problem-solving. Through fun activities and lessons, students will develop important skills like critical thinking while building their own machines for specific purposes.
