Engineering For Kids of Toronto - York Region
Classes
Winter 2023 Classes
Locations:
Richmond Hill 4-7 Years Old:
Jr.Robotics & Marine Engineering
What causes something to sink or float? How can engineers help explore and protect the ocean below? Learn about marine engineering and mechanics, how to harness the power of water, and discover designs that help us make the impossible possible. Then, using LEGO robots, build and code a Floodgate for flood prevention.
Tuesdays January 10 – February 28
Time: 4:30 – 5:30 PM
Location: Richvale Community Centre

Sundays January 15- Mar 5, 2023
Time: 11 AM – 12 PM
Location: Elgin West Community Centre
Jr. Robotics + Mechanical Engineering
The junior Mechanical classes introduce our youngest engineers to fundamental concepts of energy, material and movement through open and focused exploration. Students explore and construct mechanical machines such as roller coaster, catapults. Also by using LEGO® Robots, students learn how to create and operate their creation robots by using coding programs.
Saturdays January 14 – March 4, 2023
Time: 10 – 11 AM
Location: Bayview Hill Community Centre
Richmond Hill 8-12 Year Old:
Racing Game Design: Hydrocraft & Marine
Prepare for some fast-splashing fun as we use the Engineering Design Process to design and create our very own racing video game to race our personally designed hydrocrafts! We will create a storyboard to identify and capture the rules of play and characters for our game, and bring our storyboard to life with programming. At the end of the program, everyone takes home a working Windows-compatible game
Mondays January 9 – March 6
Except: Mon, Feb 20, 2023
Time: 6:30 – 7:30 PM
Master Machines & Robogames
Gear up for an exciting class of mechanical engineering! In this program, students will explore several of the mechanical forces that create movement in various machines. Students will work as mechanical engineers using EFK's Engineering Design Process to create exciting, hands-on projects that spin, cascade, launch, pivot, dig, and race. RoboGames is a place where robots can have fun, compete, and go on exciting adventures.
Tuesdays January 10 – February 28
Time: 6 – 7 PM
Location: Richvale Community Centre
Hardware & Electrical Engineering
In this unit, students take on the role of a hardware engineer, a professional who uses science, math and technology to create products related to computer hardware. More specifically, this unit will have students creating video game controllers! Students will be introduced to concepts such as electrical circuits, ergonomics and computer interfaces.
Saturdays January 14 – March 4, 2023
