(for Grades K-3rd/Ages 5-9)Week 5:July 8-12: Mornings: Playful Playground Engineers: In this workshop, students will become mechanical engineers that have been hired to design the ultimate playground in their community. Playgrounds are packed full of simple machines such as levers, wheels and axles, inclined planes, and pulleys. In these lessons students will learn about the simple machines they encounter every day at the playground, while advancing their literacy skills through a variety of read alouds. They will tackle fun and engaging challenges while using the EFK Engineering Design Process. We can’t wait to play! Afternoons: Junior Mechanical: Widgets and Gadgets: The Junior Mechanical Engineering classes introduce our youngest engineers to fundamental concepts of energy, materials, and movement. Through open and focused exploration, students explore and construct their own roller coasters, catapults, cars, and more.
