Description: 

Grades 1st-5th. Students experience the opportunity to think, dream and design like an INVENTOR! Building, designing, engineering! Catapults, Air-Powered Cars, explore the science of Hydraulics, Artistic Robots, Nutty Science Facts, and more! (Students do not need to have taken a previous session of Inventions & Contraptions, this is a stand-alone class). The program includes a Supply Kit with all the supplies necessary to complete the weekly activities, written and video instruction for all activities, and a weekly Zoom meeting. 4 weeks.

Focus of Each Week:

  • Catapults – Students learn about precision and accuracy as the design, build and test their own catapults!
  • Air-Powered Cars – Explore alternative energy sources and build a car that moves only with the power of air!
  • Hydraulics – Bridges, platforms, dump trucks, even Ferris Wheels can all be powered with HYDRAULICS. Students design and build their own invention using this incredible technology!
  • Art Bots – Design and build a robot that actually produces art! Nutty Art and Science!

Notes:
Please note, this is a hybrid program that does have virtual/online components that require access to a computer, tablet, or smart phone. To fully participate, you will need access to the internet during your chosen weekly meeting times. You will need a built in camera/microphone on your device or a webcam if you'd like to communicate directly with the instructor.
