Students that are participating in Young Engineers’ Galileo Technic program will learn how to problem solve from an engineering perspective, using their new math and physics skills. Students work in groups to enhance their team building skills, and therefore they are required to construct complex models. Galileo Technic provides an advanced level of thematic study, by implementing mechanical engineering principles through building LEGO® bricks models. Students will build an efficient machine (model) as they have analyzed all aspects of how the machine operates e.g. the gear ratios.
