- Understanding of basic engineering principles
- Knowledge of different types of structures and their stability
- Understanding of the concept of balance and weight distribution
- Knowledge of the importance of following instructions and step-by-step processes
- Understanding of the concept of symmetry and proportion in design
- Knowledge of the properties of different materials used in building structures
- Understanding of the concept of load-bearing and how it affects the stability of a structure
- Knowledge of the importance of trial and error in problem-solving
- Understanding of the concept of teamwork and collaboration in building a structure
Tips for continued development:
Encourage the child to explore different types of structures and experiment with different materials to build them. They can also learn about famous architectural structures and try to recreate them using LEGO or other building blocks. Additionally, they can learn about the science behind different types of structures, such as bridges or skyscrapers, and conduct simple experiments to test their stability and strength. Encouraging the child to participate in LEGO building competitions or challenges can also help them further develop their engineering and problem-solving skills.
