The Genius Club is a joint project of STEAMit and SKILLWILL. Students aged 7-14 can join the club in various age groups. 🚀The goal of the club is to develop engineering thinking among participants, increase engineering technological literacy, develop research, planning and management skills in the process of working on an engineering model. All activities are practical in nature, which allows children to apply the subject knowledge gained at the meetings in practice and understand its value in everyday life. The program is designed taking into account the age characteristics of children, the club has 3 groups for children of different ages: 7-8, 9-10, 11-14.
