SGK Incubates New "Young Engineers and Scientists" Subsidiary, That Delivers Aeronautics Learning to Elementary and High School Students

Another ground breaking move by SGK, establishing and incubating a new entity, YOUNG ENGINEERS and SCIENTISTS (YES), a place for youngsters to learn about aeronautics, that delivers the substantial knowledge of thrust, lift, drag and gravity through activities that let them play with designs, experiment and build their own planes. Even planes with electronics so it can be controlled remotely.

The activities blend a new format of education through STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), making the activities a learning process just like we commonly find in engineering design process. Plenty of discussions were established to stimulate their critical and computational thinking. Through the activities, students will learn each part of STEM, know how it works, how it's designed, how it's constructed, and how a plane will fly, and try themselves to construct it and balance the Center of Gravity through some experiments that involves practical mathematics so their plane will fly the way they want it to fly.

Each activities are being conducted in a mall, giving it the sense of playing instead of "going to school". Therefore, the students are preparing their mind to play in such effective well plotted flow and materials.

The first activities of YES was conducted in Tamini Square Mall, East Jakarta. A wide range of participating student from grade 4 to grade 9 were having fun and finally flew their planes.

The activities are being conducted regularly. To find out more information about YES, please kindly visit THIS PAGE.
