UPCOMING EVENTS
Junior Engineer : Ages 4-6
Young students build fun and simple models using Lego® blocks. By playing with and manipulating the models, they experience pulleys, levers, gears, wheels and axles while exploring energy, buoyancy, and balance. Classes include free-building time to promote creativity.
ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT
- Develop basic engineering and mechanical ideas
- Gears, pulleys, momentum, gravity, friction, balance, and energy
- Practice early science skills
- Practice skills such as measurement and experimentation
Foundational Engineering – Machines & Contraptions: Ages 5-8
Does your little learner love to tinker and create new things, or are they the kind of learner who likes to break things apart to see what’s inside? If so, they’re going to love Snapology’s Foundational Engineering: Machines and Contraptions program! This program gives your student the tools they need to understand mechanical movement and the importance of simple machines. They will see these moving parts up-close as they follow instructions to build various machines and contraptions, then use the models to develop new design ideas, test out physics concepts, and even play games with their partners and classmates. Whether they are the creative-constructive type or prefer the inquisitive-deconstructive way of learning, this program is sure to spark their engineering interests!
Academic Enrichment
- Explore the scientific method and engineering design process
- Develop appropriate strategies for logical problem solving
- Learn about mechanical movement and energy
- Potential and kinetic energy, gears, pulleys, motors
