NEW! Rube Goldberg Machine:
A Crazy Solution to a Simple Task
Who is Rube Goldberg? What are Simple Machines? This class is all
about the wonderfully wacky inspirations of Rube Goldberg- an inven-
tor, cartoonist and engineer of wild motion machines named after
him. The sole purpose of these machines is to accomplish a simple job
through multiple bizarre steps. Student inventors will work in small
teams to design and create their own Rube Goldberg-style inven-
tions which will sharpen their skills in physics, creativity and humor.
Students will be challenged to create Rube Goldberg inventions (a
series of simple machines that accomplish a simple task) using familiar
and found objects such as ramps, rope, tubes, weights, balls, funnels,
recyclables and most importantly, lots of Duct tape. This class is dedi-
cated to exploration, design and fun with activities including the con-
struction of massive domino chains, creating your own machines, and
trying to build a better mousetrap. If you like drawing, art, engineering
and antics, this is the class that will keep your imagination in perpetual
motion.

Rocketry
Learn what it takes to become a junior rocket scientist as you study
the history and principles of rocketry before creating your own missile
masterpiece. Not only will you get to design and build a solid fuel
rocket and a bottle rocket, but you’ll also design a parachute system
that can safely land an egg back on earth. Newton’s Law of Motion?
You got this!

NEW! World Conservation Game:
Protecting our Oceans
Since the earth is two thirds water, what would happen if that water
became toxic? It would affect much more than the quality of the water.
It would affect all plant, animal and human life. What if people got
together to find solutions to the problem? Not just on a local level, but
on a global scale because it would be a global problem. Join a team of
peers who care about the oceans and want to find new solutions to
what could easily become a world crisis in the near future. In this class
you’ll not only tackle a better understanding of the issues, but through
hands-on activities and games, lively discussions and thought provok-
ing conversation, you’ll work towards new solutions and strive to end
the problems facing our oceans today.

NEW! World Conservation Game:
Natural Resources
What would happen if the earth suddenly ran out of oil and gas?
Viable options for energy include sun, wind and water, but are there
others as well? Explore the world of natural renewable resources and
discover the efficiency of each. Can each resource work on a local as
well as global level? Join a team of your peers who want to find solu-
tions to the natural resource dilemma. You’ll not only tackle a better
understanding of the issues, but through hands-on activities and
games, lively discussions and thought provoking conversation, you’ll
figure out new and better solutions to the problems that don’t include
depleting the earth of her natural resources.

Trading Card Games– Create and Play
Are you interested in trading card games like Pokémon, Magic: The
Gathering, My Little Pony or Yu-Gi-Oh? If you’ve ever wanted to design
your own game, this is the class for you. Begin by studying how these
card games work and how to play them. Using what you have learned
about some of the most popular card games you’ll create your very
own Trading Card Game by designing the cards and crafting the
mechanics, the rules, the strategy and then printing and laminating
the cards into functional playing decks. How about an official tourna-
ment for your new card game? Since most popular card games start
out with homemade art and lamination, you might end up designing
the next Magic: The Gathering.
