Our transition programs are available to support your school’s nursery to P1 transition program or your cluster’s P7 to S1 program. We also offer specialised transition programmes for learners with additional support needs to help familiarise them with new environments. Recognising that the best transition programs are tailored to the context and setting of each group of learners, we will work collaboratively with you to create a custom set of experiences that support your school. |

Are you looking for an awesome workshop to support a careers day or STEM day? Young Engineers can provide problem solving based activities for upto 200 learners in a single day. |

We can deliver your school’s breakfast or afterschool program. All sessions are educational but allow playtime, relaxation and fun before or after school. |
| STEM for Learning Life & Work |
| While all our sessions include critical thinking and problem solving, we also offer a series of sessions which aim to replicate work place team working, simple project management, leadership and presentation skills all to offer learners a chance to see how their classroom learning applies to real-world situations.
We ran a programme with a group of S3 girls before they made their S4 subject choices. As a result of this course all of them chose 2 or more STEM subjects. |
