Summary:
"The goal of the Engineering & Design Module is to teach kids to recognize challenges, turn them into opportunities, and identify scalable solutions to solve them. Topics in this module include puzzles, invention, construction, machines, architecture, curiosity. STEAM Academy offers an interdisciplinary approach that weaves together the science, technology, engineering, art, and math skills learned in the classroom and connects them to things kids see every day."-- Publisher description. Blox 3D junior Blox 3D Junior is a fun and easy way for kids to learn 3D modelling. Create beautiful objects in a simple and intuitive manner using tap and pull. Blox has been designed to develop children's creativity and visualization skills. Unique turntable mode rotates and builds 3D models as a teaching tool. Pettson's inventions. 2 Help old man Pettson and his cat Findus build their amazing inventions! Which of the objects should be included and where do they fit in the machinery? Drag and drop the parts to their right spot and watch the invention go! As usual, a secret waits to be unlocked for those who manage to complete everything. A fun and pedagogic app that teaches logic and stimulates creativity for children of all ages. 10x10 city crusher Play 10 x 10 City Crusher and clear the construction site of blocks by moving colored blocks to complete lines either horizontally or vertically! Use your best logic to complete each level and become a master! Bridge constructor playground Be creative! Be innovative!sBuild bridges across 30 different levels to cover valleys, canals, rivers and then take the ultimate test. Will it hold? Tackle each level and get your build on. Tap tap builder Tap Tap Builder introduces kids to a city all their own. Work hard to plan, design, and build a city while keeping track of expenses. As the city gets bigger, there are more jobs and expenses to manage. Thinkrolls 2. Logic puzzles Children will enjoy these fun and challenging puzzles while building logic and problem solving skills. Inventors who changed the world From the curiosity of Leonardo da Vinci to the dedication of Marie Curie, Inventors Who Changed the World is a young child's first introduction to the brilliant people who taught us the meaning of perseverance and innovation. Make it. Newspaper skyscraper Fun easy to make crafts, recipes, experiments, and skits all made by Highlights kids! Who am I? 3D printer technician Quiz themed videos, presents all the aspects of cool and inspirational jobs. Can you guess the career, before the answer is revealed? Brainplay. What can't be built with sand? Highlights presents kids with silly, open-ended questions that challenge kids to think outside the box and will give their brain a workout! Engineering. Prosthetic innovations Scientists and engineers have made great strides in recent years with prosthetics and orthotics. In this program we discuss how designers simulate the anatomy and physiology of missing limbs. Though some prosthetics are simple and minimally functional, others are complex bionic artificial limbs with improved designs, using advanced hydraulics, lightweight materials such as carbon fiber and computer microprocessors and sensors. This program will highlight how advances in prosthetics have improved life for people with certain injuries and disabilities. Engineering solutions to corrosion The serious consequences of corrosion on infrastructure have become a problem of worldwide concern. This material degradation is seen every day as corrosion causes plant shutdowns, the waste of valuable resources, loss and contamination of product, reduction in efficiency, and costly maintenance. Corrosion can also jeopardize safety and inhibit technological progress. This program looks at what scientists are doing to develop stronger materials that can stand the test of time and environmental conditions.
