Lucy the Valiant Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Kid is interested in "an engineering course" - is that pre-physical science? I'm not the best one to teach this, and will outsource, either online or group-style. We're not opposed to DIY-ing a course, but need some sort of rails / guidelines to keep Kid moving forward. - TOPS books, strung together, and kid could have a friend or two over to do the experiments together? - a formal "Physical Science" course? - something like Coursera's Tinkering Fundamentals - something else?

cintinative Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 You might want to cross-post on the high school board. I'm not sure if this would fit, but this/these courses were recommended to me on the boards: https://www.myteklab.com/courses/detail/116 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ausmumof3 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Great courses had one called DIY engineering or similar which my oldest really enjoyed in Y8/9 Some of the maths was too hard for him but he still enjoyed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
