Engineering
is the art of rearranging the materials
and forces of nature. ENGINO brand name
uses the same initials, honoring this fundamental
and innate human characteristic which empowers
us to perform astonishing technological
feats. Our children's are gifted with this
power and through creative play they learn
how to exploit it.
ENGINO®
TOY SYSTEM was invented by Costas
Sisamos, a former teacher and engineer,
for the purpose of helping pupils build
technological models creatively and easily
so that they can experiment and learn about
science and technology in a Playful way.
Research grants from local and E.U. funds
helped materialize the 3 year research to
an innovative product, launched internationally
in 2007. Since then, the company developed
more snap-fit components such as gears,
pulleys motors and solar panels, and also
a series of activity books and software
that help children interact with technology
and learn by playing. The major advantage
of ENGINO system is that it enables children
to build fast and easy simple or complex
models using a very small number of different
components. |
