FREE Robotics Trial Workshops for Kids by STEAM Engine
Despite the Global Robotics Games 2023 taking place on weekdays from Wednesday to Friday, it attracted a considerable number of families who eagerly enrolled their children in the event's free workshop. The dedicated STEAM Engine trainers took on the task of introducing the children to the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime and LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Essential sets. Regardless of their age, the trainers tailored their instruction to match the capabilities of each child, teaching them the fundamental concepts associated with each LEGO® set. Surprisingly, the workshop even welcomed participation from a remarkably young 2-year-old boy, despite the LEGO® SPIKE™ Prime Essentials set being recommended for children aged 4 and above.

Our international teams, alongside our local team from Singapore, graced the stage to set up and adorn booths that beautifully portrayed their respective countries' cultures and histories. Participants donned their traditional outfits, creating a vibrant and diverse display. Each booth was a lively showcase of local delights, games, props, and informative infographics. Students enthusiastically engaged in trying out various games and activities offered at each booth. One notable hit was the game of chapteh, garnering immense popularity among the participants. The hall echoed with the thrilling sounds of shoes flying and excited cheers, adding to the festive atmosphere of the event.
