Abstract
This study explores the theoretical foundations for fostering engineering thinking and creative problem-solving skills in preschool children through robotics education. Robotics, as an interdisciplinary approach, integrates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts, providing young learners with hands-on experiences that stimulate cognitive development, creativity, and logical reasoning. The research emphasizes the significance of early exposure to technological tools and interactive learning environments in shaping critical thinking and innovative capacities. The theoretical analysis highlights educational strategies, developmental psychology principles, and pedagogical approaches that support the introduction of robotics in early childhood settings. This work serves as a basis for designing curricula and activities that encourage problem-solving, experimentation, and the development of engineering skills from a young age.
