NEW! STEAM Ahead
Imagine a place where students can explore, design, build, craft, and create all
at the same time. This arts based class will allow students to explore materials,
and make creative discoveries. Students will use the basic foundations in
science, technology, engineering, and math, and infuse it with the arts, creating
a full moving STEAM ahead mindset. The possibilities are endless.

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 inventor, 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 inventions, 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 dedicated to exploration,
design, and fun with activities including the construction 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.

Conquer your way through science, technology, engineering, and math
challenges while incorporating your favorite sports! Use activities such as
football, baseball, soccer, and basketball to challenge your mind when you
design a helmet that can protect an egg, or figure out how much energy is
required to knock over bowling pins. Expand your knowledge of math and
science application through hands-on exploration in the classroom, as well as
on the playing field.
