Science Beginnings: Invent, Innovate, Engineer

This inquiry-based class uses contraptions, wood planks, catapults, and K'nex to explore STEM concepts that are aligned to national educational standards. Campers learn to problem-solve and discover concepts in physics. Take up an engineering challenge-build a simple moving contraption using screw drivers. Building and investigating different designs, students learn principle of simple machines, structures, and moving parts. Build intricate structures, rides, and roller coasters, as students understand structural design. Make 1st, 2nd and 3rd class levers with K'nex. Using wood planks, learn the principals of slope, force, and balance as you make tunnels, ramps, towers, and chutes.

$15 materials fee due to the instructor on the first day of camp.
