Read full description

The ENGINO software Suite consists of all available software developed by ENGINO and is an ideal solution for teachers who look towards an encompassing approach on STEM. Starting with the 3D builder software, kids are empowered to create their own virtual model, practicing early CAD skills along with design thinking and 3D perception. With KEIRO™ software, students develop computational thinking and learn coding by using intuitive block-based programming, which can also advance with text programming. The ENVIRO™ simulator allows students to test their code without needing a physical device, seeing how their virtual model performs in a virtual 3D arena. They can select from a variety of challenges that are not easily actualized within usual classroom setting.
