Engineering 1 (E1) - Students grades 3-8 will learn by doing! Working with a partner, students will cooperatively build and modify machines exhibiting basic engineering principles. Course uses industrial machines to cover the concepts of gears and gear ratios, simple machines, structures, forces in motion and more and is capped off with a final project.
[room requirements: tables, not desks]
[class size=12 to 24 students]
Vehicle Engineering (VE) – An exciting class where kids build 13 different vehicles capped off with a final project. Some of these vehicles haven’t been invented in the “real” world yet! Vehicles include everyday vehicles, concept cars, construction machines and more, to cover gearing and gear ratios, electric motors and energy, friction and forces in motion, and aerodynamics. Working with partners students will cooperatively build and modify machines exhibiting basic engineering principles. Appropriate for ages 8 to 12 years.

BATTLE BOTS (BB)- Students, ages 8 and up, learn to design and build their own motorized battle vehicles that battle demolition derby style. Working with a partner, students will cooperatively build and modify machines exhibiting basic engineering principles; simple and complex machines, gearing, and mechanical advantage. Students will try to flip, push, or smash their opponent’s battle vehicles. Brain over brawn through applied physics. Lessons demonstrate the use of mechanical lifts, nets, drills, ramps and more to disable or overcome other bots.
