Learn Real Physics Through Play

Your students won't just learn about force, angles, and trajectories—they'll experience them firsthand. By building their own DIY shooter and testing it in action, they'll understand how physics actually works in the real world. No boring lectures, just hands-on discovery.

Engineer, Build & Problem-Solve

This isn't just about shooting targets. Kids construct their own mechanical shooter using simple materials like rubber bands and craft sticks. They'll think like engineers, troubleshoot when things don't work perfectly, and feel the pride of creating something that actually performs.

Get Moving & Stay Engaged

Combine Olympic-inspired athletic training with STEM learning. Students move into authentic Biathlon positions, race against their own times, and compete in precision challenges. It's the perfect blend of physical activity and mental engagement—exactly what growing minds and bodies need.

About the Course

Mini Biathlon Engineers brings the excitement of the Olympics into your classroom through an interactive, hands-on STEM module designed specifically for ages 4–9. This isn't your typical science lesson—it's an adventure where kids become both athletes and engineers. Here's what makes it special: Your students will build a functional DIY shooter, learn the physics principles that make it work (trajectory, force, tension), and then put their creation to the test in authentic Biathlon-inspired shooting challenges. They'll move between prone and standing positions, track their accuracy, and discover how small adjustments create big results. If you are an educator seeking to make STEM memorable and active, this module delivers exactly what you need. Kids stay engaged, stay moving, and most importantly—they actually understand the science behind what they're doing. Ready to transform how your kids experience STEM? Let's get started!
