Through 26 model-building exercises, you’ll investigate all six classic simple machines — wheels and axles, levers, pulleys, inclined planes, screws, and wedges — as well as gears. Students will follow easy step-by-step illustrated instructions to build each model, which includes a balance scale, elevator, and geared carousel! Test your new creations to demonstrate basic laws of physics and how they exist in our everyday lives! Young researchers will gain hands-on experience with the design process and learn about various topics in the fascinating world of engineering. Come obtain the necessary skills and experience to take on the technological challenges of the future and continue your engineering journey at home!CLASS SCHEDULE: Subject to Change: Due to their very nature, our classes are “subject to change”.
