Extreme Engineering: Motors & Pneumatics
Join us as we explore, investigate, and solve problems through hands-on engineering. This engaging class combines LEGO® Education and LEGO® Technic™ materials to study design, technology, science, and mathematics. Students working in pairs will build learning models, then be challenged to customize and improve their projects using the principles they’ve discovered. Topics include design principles, mechanisms, pneumatics, pressure, prototyping, and energy. Possible builds include a scissor lift, stamping press, robotic arm, robotic hand, animatronic scarecrow, and even a dinosaur, blending creativity with engineering problem solving.
*Exact age/grade availability depends on each district's listing.
Hands-on project-based learning. Work in small groups. Take home your creations.
What students will do
This camp turns Minecraft into a logic playground: students practice structured thinking while building things they actually want to show off.

What to know
Quick details parents care about — clear, scannable, and reduces "before camp" emails.
Bring a USB on the last day to save your projects.
Great for students who enjoy Minecraft and want a deeper, more "engineering" style experience.
