Description
This Curious Engineers eBook from 3D-LABS is written for engineers and students who want a clear, practical reference they can apply immediately.
Curious Engineers — Ages 6 to 10 introduces engineering thinking to young children through colourful illustrated stories of how everyday things are made – bridges, cars, phones, buildings, robots, and food – with simple experiments.
What engineering topics are introduced?
How is a bridge built? (beams and arches hold weight – paper bridge experiment), How does a robot move? (motors and joints), How does GPS work? (24-satellite constellation sends time signals), How is cement made? (limestone + heat), and How does clean water reach your tap? (coagulation, filtration, chlorination). All use Indian everyday examples.
What activities are suitable for ages 6-10?
Paper towel water filter (sand, gravel, activated charcoal layers), bridge strength test (newspaper rolls carrying books), pulley from pencil and string, balloon rocket (Newton’s 3rd law – action-reaction), and pinhole camera from a shoebox. Materials available at home or any Indian school.
How does this book support early STEM learning in India?
Aligned with NCERT EVS Grade 1-5 (surroundings, shelter, water, travel) and NEP 2020 Foundational Stage play-based learning. Suitable for read-aloud by parents or teachers, independent reading from Grade 2.
