Who we are
An education institution built on learning by doing
The Little Engineer® is an award-winning STEM education organisation founded in Beirut in 2009. We design hands-on learning activities that let children and teenagers unleash their potential in pre-engineering skills.
We work across both business-to-business and business-to-consumer channels — serving students and parents, schools and educators, and corporate partners — with one consistent aim: to move young people from consuming technology to creating it.
