Engino for STEM Education
Engino is a leader in STEM education, offering hands-on, innovative kits that enable students to explore Science, Technology, Engineer-ing, and Mathematics. Designed for flexibility, Engino kits support the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills across all educational levels. Over 80 different kits, from robotics to mechanics and green energy. Ideal for engaging students in real-world problem-solving through hands-on inquiry. Perfectly aligned with the IB PYP and MYP inquiry-based learning approaches.
Engino's STEM solutions are designed to seamlessly integrate into the IB framework, supporting both the PYP and MYP curricula. From Key Concepts to the Design Cycle, Engino covers every element re-quired to meet IB standards.
PYP (Primary Years Programme)
In the IB PYP, Engino kits are tailored to support inquiry-based learn-ing, focusing on Key Concepts like Change, Connection, and Causa-tion, as well as Global Contexts such as Globalisation and Sustaina-bility.
Key PYP Features:
Command Terms: Students are prompted to use terms like define, analyse, and create as they explore concepts through hands-on projects.
ATL Skills: Activities develop essential skills like collaboration, re-search, and communication, promoting group work and reflective thinking.
Learner Profile: Projects help foster attributes like inquirer, thinker, and communicator, encouraging students to take ownership of their learning journey.
MYP (Middle Years Programme)
For MYP students, Engino kits are directly aligned with the IB Design Cycle: Inquiring and Analysing, Developing Ideas, Creating the Solu-tion, and Evaluating. Projects like the Next-Gen Sustainable Green-house Design unit allow students to explore systems, sustainability, and innovation, while engaging with real-world issues.
Key MYP Features:
Key Concepts & Related Concepts: Projects explore key concepts like Systems, Sustainability, and Scientific and Technical Innovation.
Global Contexts: Students work within contexts such as Scientific and Technical Innovation and Globalisation and Sustainability, solv-ing modern-day challenges through design.
Statements of Inquiry: Students develop inquiry-based questions such as, How can we use greenhouse technology to support sustain-able farming and combat climate change?
Command Terms: Each task is linked to key MYP command terms such as analyse, construct, evaluate, and design.
Engino's STEM projects like the Next-Gen Sustainable Greenhouse Design unit are built to fit seamlessly into the IB Design Cycle. From initial inquiry to the final evaluation, students engage in every step of the process.
How Engino Supports Each Stage of the Design Cycle:
Inquiring and Analysing: Students investigate how greenhouses can support sustainable agriculture, using scientific and technical re-search to guide their designs.
Developing Ideas: Students use 2D and 3D CAD software to create models of irrigation systems, greenhouse covers, and more, refining their ideas based on research and peer feedback.
Creating the Solution: Using Engino kits, students construct working greenhouses equipped with sensors to monitor temperature, mois-ture, and ventilation.
Evaluating: After collecting data on greenhouse conditions, students evaluate their designs and suggest improvements, ensuring their systems are both sustainable and effective.
Learner Profile Development: Engino projects foster Learner Profile attributes, encouraging students to be thinkers, inquirers, communi-cators, and risk-takers. By tackling real-world challenges, students gain the skills and confidence needed to lead in the 21st century.
Engino offers a comprehensive and innovative approach to inte-grating STEM education with IB frameworks, designed to foster student engagement and develop real-world problem-solving skills.

Looking Ahead: Engino and IB DP Integration
Engino’s STEM solutions are evolving to meet the needs of all IB programmes. We are excited to announce that we will soon be developing IB DP content to further support the development of critical thinking and innovation at the higher education level. Engino will continue to align with IB standards, bringing cutting-edge STEM education to DP students, allowing them to tackle advanced topics such as robotics, engineering, and sustainable technology through the lens of the IB Diploma Programme.
Empowering the Next Generation:
With Engino, students are empowered to innovate, experiment, and create, using the latest STEM technology to design solutions to real-world problems. Our kits provide the tools for students to excel in inquiry-based learning environments, setting them up for success in future academic and professional pursuits.
Engino integrates seamlessly with the latest classroom technologies and learning management systems, offering an enhanced educa-tional experience.
Technology Integration with Engino Kits:
2D & 3D CAD Software: Students use cutting-edge software to de-sign irrigation systems, greenhouse covers, and structural compo-nents for their projects.
Arduino Programming: Our kits allow students to program real-time sensors to monitor greenhouse conditions such as temperature, moisture, and ventilation, giving them hands-on experience with automation and control systems.
Adaptable to Learning Management Systems (LMS): Engino re-sources are fully compatible with ManageBac, Moodle, and other leading LMS platforms, enabling easy tracking of student progress, submission of design documentation, and assessment reflection. Teachers can map tasks directly onto the LMS, tracking the progres-sion of students through each stage of the IB Design Cycle.
Professional Development for Educators: Engino provides teacher training and resources to help integrate our STEM kits into IB class-rooms, ensuring educators are fully supported in bringing inquiry-based learning to life.
