Builders Club – Young Engineers

Grades: 3rd - 5th (Ages: 8 - 11)

Solvers Problems

Builders Club is a hands-on STEM program for students in grades 3–5 that puts kids in the role of engineers and problem-solvers. Students explore different types of engineering through weekly design challenges and use the Engineering Design Process to plan, build, test, evaluate, and improve their solutions. Rather than simply following instructions to build a project, students are challenged to develop their own solutions, learn from failure, and improve their designs. The program develops critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, collaboration, communication, and perseverance.

About Solvers Problems

Build it. Test it. Improve it. Try again!

In Builders Club, kids become young engineers and take on a new hands-on design challenge each week. They'll build, experiment, test their ideas, make improvements, and try again—all while having fun creating alongside their classmates.

Using the Engineering Design Process, students develop skills that support learning in STEM and across the classroom, including:

  • Critical and logical thinking

  • Creative problem-solving

  • Math and science reasoning

  • Communication and teamwork

  • Perseverance and confidence

Builders Club isn't about following instructions to make the "right" project. We challenge students to think for themselves, develop their own solutions, learn from what doesn't work, and keep improving.

They'll have fun building. You'll love what they're learning.
