British Curriculum Compatibility
ENGINO's STEM solutions align seamlessly with the British Curriculum, enabling progressive skill development across Key Stages 1 through 4.
Key Stage 1 & 2:
ENGINO projects introduce students to basic principles of materials, mechanisms, and structures. Through exploration, students learn how different components work together, building foundational skills in creativity and problem-solving.
Key PYP Features:
• Introduces foundational skills in structure, materials, and movement.
• Encourages creativity and collaboration through hands-on projects.
• Reinforces understanding through simple design and building tasks.
Key Stage 3 & 4:
At these stages, students engage with more complex systems, incorporating CAD, electronics, and programming. Projects encourage students to explore advanced concepts in sustainability, automation, and product design, preparing them for IGCSE and further studies.
Key MYP Features:
• Integrates CAD design, electronics, and programming skills.
• Emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and technical accuracy.
• Encourages application of design cycle stages, from planning to evaluation.
Integrating the Design Cycle
ENGINO's kits are designed to align with the British Curriculum Design
Technology Cycle, guiding students through each stage of the design process:
1. Investigate: Students begin by exploring and defining a problem, conducting research, and analysing existing solutions.
2. Design: Using CAD tools, students develop detailed plans and create prototypes that meet specific goals and constraints.
3. Create: Students construct their designs using ENGINO kits, applying technical skills and ensuring functionality through hands-on assembly and testing.
4. Evaluate: After testing their solutions, students analyse results, reflect on their process, and suggest improvements, aligning with the curriculum's emphasis on self-evaluation and iterative design.
By engaging in each phase of the cycle, students develop critical thinking and technical skills, gaining confidence as independent problem solvers.
