Welcome

Children are interested in how food products are made and packaged. The answers to these questions aren’t always easy to understand, or to apply to children’s experiences of daily life.
By understanding the processes involved in food production, children learn that it is in fact possible to understand and explain those processes. They learn that in future, they could work in food production, or become innovators or businesspeople. These achievements will be possible because the young people will have been able to understand and easily analyze consecutive engineering processes since childhood. The social enterprise SIA Engineering for children creates educational materials to help children understand technological and economic processes. These materials portray various professions, as well as various machines and materials used in food production.

 

About author

‘’Every new achievement is a victory. Every new invention is a victory. New knowledge is a victory.’’ – author Kristīne Jacino, who has a Doctor degree in food engineering and many years of professional experience in food production.

If we want society to both create new technologies and to decrease emissions from waste thanks to shared effort, then we must have pragmatic citizens, educated in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), who understand how to achieve these goals.

The social goals of SIA Engineering for children are to improve quality of life for society as a whole, and especially to encourage children’s desire to acquire and strengthen STEM knowledge and skills. If citizens acquire knowledge in an easy, engaging form as children, then in future, they will have the courage and desire to investigate processes of any level of complexity in an in-depth way. These traits have a positive impact on personality development, on encouraging innovation and on joining the job market.
