About This Activity
On Fridays. Class Dates: 3/1, 3/8, 3/15, 4/5, 4/12, 4/19, 4/26, and 5/3. No class: 3/22, 3/29. Potential make-up date: 5/10 Course Description: This course proves that science can be an exciting and dynamic discipline by putting the gears directly into your child’s hands! Each lesson is designed to provide students with hands-on experience with some of the most fundamental concepts in mechanical engineering. Students will build and experiment with hydraulic grabber hands, test cars, and more, each introducing a new concept – from Newton’s laws of motion to the principles of energy transfer. Better yet, their creations will give them a personal look at how all these concepts combine to define the world we live in. By the end of the course, each student will feel confident in their ability to work independently through the engineering process to design exciting, moveable machines of their own.
