Jr Engineering: Theme Parks
Have a blast using LEGO® Technics engineering kits to explore the world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in a team-based environment. During each session, we will explore new engineering principles, such as gears, wheels, levers, and pulleys. Then, we will build working theme park rides and machines that reinforce concepts learned. After each building project, students will customize, share, compete in challenges, and enjoy experimenting with their creations. Possible models include catapult games, crazy floors, merry-go-rounds, go-karts, moving clowns, popcorn carts, and more. Students will be working in pairs.
*Exact age/grade availability depends on each district's listing.
