Structural Engineering
Learn what it takes to become a junior engineer. Plan and construct
complex projects and structures using simple household materials.
Design and build bridges, towers and domes out of drinking straws,
toothpicks, Popsicle sticks and balsa wood. Students compete against
each other in a friendly competition to see who can design and build
the strongest structures.

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, car-
toonist and engineer of wildmotionmachines named after him. The sole
purpose of these machines is to accomplish a simple job through mul-
tiple 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 impor-
tantly, 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 mouse-
trap. 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 mas-
terpiece. 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!

Design and Fly: Drone Technology for Teens
Students will learn about technology and aerodynamics when they
outfit a paper airplane with a controller that will allow them to fly the
airplane, or unmanned aerial vehicle, with their smart phone. The course
will focus on how a plane flies, how it is controlled and basic aircraft
design. Students will begin with a proven design and be tasked with
designing their own airplane by the end of the week. Student’s designs
will be showcased during the last class with a student show and tell and
a friendly race!
Students are required to bring a smart phone to class
each day. Class fee includes a power up Drone kit complete with a
control module, motor and heavy duty paper that goes home with
the student at the conclusion of the class.
