Bromley Young Engineers

Bromley Young Engineers are bringing their fabulous Bricks Challenge program to St Hugh’s with sessions for youngsters aged 6-10 on Thursday afternoons and Saturday mornings. Learn engineering, science and maths principles through building with bricks and blocks! Bricks Challenge is an educational program that introduces children to the principles of STEM and basic subjects of classical mechanics through the use of building blocks and mechanical parts. In each session, the day’s model and the day’s engineering principles are introduced. To make the topic more relatable, an interactive story related to the subject is optionally narrated. The children then construct their models, enhance them for further experimentation, and sometimes modify them for competitions. The session concludes with reinforcing questions to solidify the children’s grasp of the concepts they’ve learned. Book your young person’s spot on the Young Engineers site
