Play and Learn Engineering

Play and Learn Engineering is an educational, fun-filled app that helps your child learn through play. Kids can explore and learn engineering concepts with games that grow with them. Experiment, problem solve, and unlock new challenges along the way. Design machines and roller coasters, build with robots, and explore obstacle courses. Add to your child’s distance learning by introducing them to games with simple engineering tools.

Make STEM concepts fun at home. These early learning games for preschoolers help your child develop a better understanding of the world around them. Our app empowers your preschooler to test science and engineering concepts and solve problems on their own. Use early learning tools designed so the app grows with your child.


Our family games encourage parents and children to learn together. The parent section is an award-winning tool that helps you guide your child’s learning both in and outside the app.
