BURGERSFORT – The majority of learners at Calvin College’s preparatory school prefer careers in engineering, mechanic and architectural work.
This was evident when the children participated in a Lego-based workshop led by the Junior Engineers for South Africa (Jefa) on August 24.
The children used Lego blocks to play while they learnt. Some of the topics that were explored included building structures, pneumatics, sensory integration, brain building educational activities and many more.
An educator at Calvin College, Ms Zane Neizel said the initiative was a success, “We saw our kids interpreting and applying concepts by building their own models. Most of the kids enjoyed building houses, halls and designing cars,” she said.
She added that the initiative also developed the character, concentration and creativity of learners by exposing them to practical affordable and technology principles, robotics and challenging programmes. The workshop lasted for two days.
