Anyone, even young children, can engineer. Wee Engineer’s fun, engaging activities capture young childrens’ natural curiosity, while strengthening problem-solving and critical thinking skills, starting at age 3. Hands-on challenges empower children to see themselves as problem solvers as they learn that there’s more than one way to solve a problem. Practicing social, emotional, fine motor, cognitive, and language skills prepares them for a strong start in school.

EiE's Wee Engineer® is the 2019 CODiE winner for "Best Learning Solution for Preschool/Early Childhood", and a 2020 EdTech Awards Cool Tool and Trendsetter Finalist.

The program includes 4 unique design challenges that can be taught in any order and follow a consistent structure that builds student confidence and mastery. Each challenge relates to common centers and themes and encourages children to us familiar materials to figure out how to make something that solves a specific problem. 

  • Noisemakers: Children create a loud noisemaker for a surprise party.
  • Fans: Children create a fan that can produce enough wind to move a ball.
  • Wrecking Balls: Children create a wrecking ball that can knock over a stack of blocks.
  • Rafts: Children create a raft that can support the weight of a toy.
