Engineering for Kids + Giveaway!



Engineering for kids.

Really?

It got me curious.  I was then told to bring my kids ad they might enjoy this.  I googled it and what I saw was something different.  I was excited to be honest and so I went with an open mind.


What I saw heard and experienced was something out of the ordinary.  It was very interesting.  The materials that they used are those in our household - nothing so out of this world - but the basic stuff.

It's simply making science applicable to daily life, simple enough for the kids to enjoy and at the same time learn from.  I wish we had this during my time.  I am very much fascinated with Chemistry in HS but was discouraged because there was not application involved.  What I learned in school - I only did in school - there was no practical application.  I am so glad for the kids now because they have means to develop their interests early on.  Whats more is that parents support their kids decision now - parents value what their kids like and give them the opportunity to hone those interests and talents.

Here are a couple of videos to pique your interest:






Interesting right?

Very!!

Engineering for Kids make science very interesting and practical.  They don't teach you the theories (well the do of course, but not that intense like reading so many paragraphs etc.) but emphasize on problem based solving via learning and play.  It's very interesting because kids learn through exploration and discovery.  They have practical material found nearly everywhere (especially the house!)

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics is what makes up Engineering for Kids.  S.T.E.M. encourages creativity and innovation through play and learning.  Don't you wish you had this?  So, for those who have kids that are science inclined - you have an outlet now!  Engineering for Kids!!


Engineering for kids has ten (10) programs:

Marine Engineering
Chemical Engineering
Electronic Game Design
Civil Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Aerospace Engineering
Robotics Engineering
Environmental Engineering
Industrial Engineering

There are two levels for each category.  They classify it by age - one group is called JUNIOR Engineers - they're aged 4-6, the other group is called APPRENTICE/MATER Engineers - they're aged 7-14.

We got a glimpse of what Engineering for Kids had to offer and we had so much fun!  Kailee was nonstop playing with the slime, courtesy of the Chemical Engineering booth.  Connor was so enjoying Marine Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.  See the videos above.  I honestly never thought they'd enjoy it.  But Engineering for Kids definitely made it interesting!

The good news is - I will be giving away two (2) FREE TRIAL coupons!!

Just leave the following details on the comment section:
a)  Name
b)  Email Address (make sure this is a valid one that you open often!!)
c)  Which of the 10 programs do you think your child will enjoy most and why.
d)  Send out a Tweet with a link back to this giveaway or share this on FB (please leave the URL)

I will be picking the winners so it will be my prerogative and decision.

This is open to Metro Manila residents who are able to pick-up the coupon in Quezon City (please don't force me to *ship*)

This giveaway will end on April 30, 2015!

    My little RJ is a bit destroyer but maybe next time I would like him to do this if I weren't so busy :)

    We did a trial on this and it was quite interesting. :) Plus, if I'm not mistaken, one of the local celebrities co-owns it.

    When I first heard about Engineering for Kids, I got excited, too! Once Liam's older, we'll definitely be checking them out. Thank you for breaking down what they have to offer in this post :) It makes me look forward to when Liam's old enough to join!

    We love EFK! We did a trial class also last year with a few mommy bloggers that I invited. I love how fun and nice the teachers are. Did you meet my friend, Lalie?

    Our Ziggy got to try Engineering for Kids when they had a booth in Eastwood and we enjoyed it a lot. We're hoping to enroll him in one of their classes in the future. :)

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't think I can w

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip something up with just ing
