Engineering for Kids
May – LEGO Robotics: Play Soccer
Age: 4 - 7
Start date: Thursday, May 2, 2019
Schedule: On Thursdays from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM
Students will build and program a variety of robotic projects with Lego WeDo Robots. Teamwork and collaboration are essential to engineers; this will give students ideas for how to fairly take turns and how to encourage teammates, as they work together to use gears and axles, and program motors and sensors to solve realistic problems. Students will follow diagram directions and program with drag-and-drop software on a laptop computer. As time allows, students will have the chance to improve their builds and programs.
June – Crazy Concoctions (Junior Chemical Engineering)
Age: 4 - 7
Start date: Thursday, May 30, 2019
Schedule: On Thursdays from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM
The Junior Chemical Engineering classes introduce our youngest engineers to fundamental concepts of solids, liquids, and solutions. Students investigate the properties of several crazy concoctions and make their own samples of bubbles, play dough, flub, and more.
