Our story began in 2004 with a passionate teacher, Costas Sisamos, who refused to settle. He saw a problem - students were struggling to create and innovate during their Design & Technology classes in Cyprus schools. With grit, determination, and a lot of heart, Costas developed the first sketches of his idea for modular plastic connectors and 3D-printed prototypes. Despite facing financial challenges and skepticism from others, he refused to give up on his dream. And thus, Engino was born - a tool for education that links technical knowledge with pedagogical training, helping children develop critical life skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity.
But Engino is more than just a construction toy - it's a philosophy. We want children to be able to solve problems based on their abilities without getting trapped in the construction part, which can lead to frustration and lack of interest. With Engino's snap-fit system, there's no need for cutting chopsticks or using screws and tools, making it simpler and more enjoyable for kids to build and innovate.
Our products are designed to enhance children's three-dimensional perception and develop their dexterity and cognitive skills. With our step-by-step developmental approach infused in all our products, we provide quality tools and teaching materials to help students learn excitingly. Enginο's mission is to unleash children's creativity and imagination through play and education. Our primary goal is to create something useful for humans and help children acquire life skills.
With over 50 sets to choose from, there's something for everyone! Thanks to Costas's determination and innovative thinking, children around the world can now experience the wonder of engineering in a fun and interactive way with Engino's amazing products.
