Big Builders: Enrichment for Preschool STEM Explorers
Register NowYoung Engineers believes and reinforces education through play. Our unique Big Builders enrichment program introduces preschoolers to science concepts through hands‑on, experiential learning.
Students work with flexible, age‑appropriate parts to build 3D models, learning key engineering terms, animal life cycles, basic physics, astronomy, and more.
Play with peers enhances social, linguistic, and communication skills — growing confidence and creating a love of learning early.
