NASA: Stem Explorers/Mad Machines
Morning Topic: NASA: Stem Explorers
Developed in partnership with NASA, we will think and act like NASA innovators during this hands-on program inspired by NASA OPSPARC. After receiving you mission notebook, you will design and build a Mars Rover. Your rover will be tested over various obstacles to ensure it can navigate Mars’ brutal terrain. From mission patches to engineering for space NASA Roving Rovers is out of this world!
Afternoon Topic: Mad Machines
Discover simple machines! Unravel the power of pulleys, build catapults and claw grabber devices! We’ll compile all that we’ve learned & build our own Mad Science Drag Racers to race and take home!
LEGO - BRIXology - Creatures/LEGO - BRIXology - Carnivals
Morning Topic: LEGO - BRIXology - Creatures
Explore the science and engineering that lets humans invent new things based on solutions found in nature! Through the engineering design process become bioengineers solving problems with biomimicry. Put together a wind-up peacock puzzle that can move to take home!
Afternoon Topic: LEGO - BRIXology - Carnivals
Explore the science and engineering that lets humans design and build exciting rides at carnivals and amusement parks. Through the engineering design process become mechanical engineers solving problems with creative solutions. Construct a miniature swinging viking ship ride to take home.
