Engineering & Simple Machines (Age 9-11)
Calling all aspiring scientists, engineers, and designers! Learn about solar, wind and DC motors and the role machines play in our day-to-day life. Practice using tools like levers, cams, gears and pulleys to build multiple models. Use your model to simulate real-life machines such as sweeping machines, windmills, and racing cars to aid in your exploration. You will have the opportunity to build your own designs as well.
