👉 Child engineering, also known as child-directed engineering or child-centered design, is an approach that focuses on understanding and engaging children's natural curiosity and creativity in the process of designing and building solutions. It emphasizes hands-on, experiential learning where children are encouraged to explore, experiment, and construct based on their interests and questions. This method values the child's perspective and fosters problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and innovation by allowing them to take an active role in the design process. Educators and parents working with children in this context act as facilitators, guiding rather than directing, to help children discover and develop their engineering minds through playful and meaningful activities.
