Thursday, 12 January 2023

The project "Future Engineers" - lectures on engineering sciences for children of the association "European Initiatives without Borders", which is implemented under the program "Knowledge and Growth" of Econt Express and the Municipal Foundation "Ruse - City of Free Spirit".

More than 740 students - mostly from first to third grade - actively participated in the theoretical and practical classes. The lectures were 60 minutes long and were held directly in class and at a time to suit the children's school schedule. During the project, the children learned a lot of new knowledge and skills related to engineering.

The project "Future Engineers" involved classes from ''Olimpi Panov'' Primary School, ''Lyuben Karavelov'' Primary School, ''St. Constantine Cyril - Philosopher" and "Otets Paisii" Primary School. Working in small groups allowed the future engineers to build teamwork habits. 

Thanks to the project manager Eng. Ilian Iliev gave each participant the opportunity to unscrew and turn bolts and nuts, work with an Allen wrench, follow a simplified scheme, build chains, install brakes, assemble different types of trolley cars, and assemble a crane for engines. With the permission of the management of each school, the assembled trolleys were tested by the students in the corridors of the schools.

The Future Engineers project has achieved its goal of motivating children's minds and making them more ambitious to learn. He showed the children that despite their tender age they have the necessary skills and with a little extra knowledge they can create. The opportunity to ride a trolley that they created in a team with their classmates motivated them to seek more skills from the world of engineering.
