This science unit centers around the children who enroll! During the first session we will compile activities based on what the children are interested in, with teacher guidance. All of the subsequent activities will be hands-on and vary from week to week.

In this class we learn about kinetic energy and how we can use it to make a variety of structures. Some kinetic sculptures are made specifically as art pieces, while some serve very specific mechanical purposes. We will explore both of these, and create several kinetic sculptures/towers/machines based on what we learn.

During this class students will have an opportunity to work with LEGO WeDo 2.0 as well as LEGO Story Starter sets to create a moving scene made out of LEGO! Students will work in small, mixed-age groups in order to achieve a combination of robotics and storytelling.

In this class students will use a variety of upcycled, reclaimed and new materials to complete engineering challenges! Some of the challenges include egg drops, bridge-building, the bungee challenge and a top-secret art challenge!

Makey Makey is an invention kit for the 21st century! Students will turn everyday objects into touchpads and combine them with the internet. It’s a simple Invention Kit for Beginners and Experts doing art, engineering, and everything in-between.
