Engineering toy
If you’ve never heard the term ‘STEM’ you likely don’t work in a school. Basically STEM is short from Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Research shows children with competency in these areas will be most likely to succeed in future occupations. Most of the careers your children will go into as adults haven’t even been invented yet! A focus on STEM, critical thinking and innovation will help them to adapt to the ever changing world. This toy builds on all 3 of these skills.
