Bricks Challenge
The Bricks Challenge program introduces primary school children to the basic principles of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Children learn to ‘think like engineers’ by building complex motorised machines using LEGO®, motors and batteries. Children will:
- Receive our customised and copyrighted LEGO® kits with batteries and motors.
- Discover physics by building real-world prototypes that actually work
- Discover the joy of learning through hands on projects
- Learn innovation and design thinking through a much loved medium
Our learning framework
Every Bricks Challenge session is structured to spark both logic and imagination:
Learn
STEM concepts are introduced through fun stories and real-world examples.
Prototype
Children build LEGO® models that apply the concepts—like a forklift or an amusement park ride.
Experiment
Children are encouraged to tweak, test, and troubleshoot their builds through team games and guided challenges.
Imagine
Children stretch their thinking and explore how their models could be improved or reimagined to solve bigger problems.
Why it matters
Bricks Challenge helps children realise their potential by giving them space to explore, invent, and grow in a safe and structured environment, it:
- Encourages independent learning
- Develops fine-motor and gross motor skills
- Develops ones ability to analyse engineering processes
- Broadens knowledge of laws of physics and various natural phenomena
- Improves spatial recognition
- Cultivates a sense of self-efficacy
- Expands interpersonal communication skills
- Fosters planning and time management skills
What children explore
- Physics principles: Centrifugal and centripetal forces, the power of inertia, potential energy, kinetic energy, action/reaction law, buoyancy, torque, fulcrum, load division, angular momentum, and more.
- Engineering principles: Gears, transmission types, snail gears, speed Vs power transmission
- Famous scientific and philosophical figures: Archimedes, Sir Isaac Newton, Einstein, and more
- Models from the real world: Amusement park rides, vehicles, construction machinery, green energy, machines around the house, etc.
Bricks Challenge lays the foundation for deeper STEM learning while making education experience fun and filled with joy.

Our programs speak for themselves, but our parents say it best. From increased focus to visible excitement, hear how Young Engineers is changing the way children engage with learning.
My boys can tell when someone has real passion for what they are doing and sharing. The boys response was Mr Wong and Jack really like kids. Loved it.

Elliot has continued to talk about how fun Engineering Camp was. A wonderful camp and he will be attending again in the future.

Fantastic experience for young minds. Nate had an absolute blast and cannot wait to do it again next year. He is still talking about it nearly 2 weeks later. Thank you.

My 2 kids had a blast. 3 Lego builds in a day, they couldn’t get enough. My 10 year old enjoyed ‘modifying’ the build outside of the scripted instructions. Great way to encourage innovation. Keep that bit up!!

Our children had a great time and were able to explain the tasks and their projects to us very confidently when we arrived to pick them up. While we obviously didn’t see the whole day and progression of instruction by staff, it appeared there were elements of problem- based learning as well as foundational instruction and we liked this very much. We also liked the small, intimate nature of the group.
