Engineers Week is a fantastic nationwide initiative with the objective of encouraging young people, their teachers, and parents to explore the fun world of Engineering. Here are my Top STEM Toys relevant to Engineers week.
Yes, it can be fun to solve a problem, work out solutions, build, re-build and start again.
There is an educational and learning opportunity with every toy and game and I want to present here a range that encourages STEM skills while being entertaining and fun.
The STEM Toys we have in stock come from brands such as UGears, Smartivity, Thames & Kosmos and Eitech. They tick all the boxes for problem-solving, creative thinking, and spatial awareness amongst many skills and also have engaging and appealing designs and concepts for both girls and boys.
Additionally Construction Kits such as Kapla and OPPI Piks are great examples of where Art meets Science to give toys that are visually rich, fun and educational. All of these are hands-on, practical, engaging and appealing to boys and girls.
