Engineering Adventures - W4
with Seema Khan
Ages: 7 - 15
Step into the world of invention and discovery in this hands-on engineering class! Each week, students will tackle real-world design challenges—building bridges, simple machines, egg drop challenges, launching rockets, testing and building various structures, and more. While completing these projects, students will learn the underlying science and engineering concepts that make them work. They will explore energy, including different forms and how they are harnessed in engineering applications; force and motion, investigating Newton’s Laws and how forces affect the movement of objects; materials science, examining the properties of different materials and how they influence design choices; and structural stability, understanding the importance of balance and strength in building resilient structures. Using creativity, teamwork, and the Engineering Design Process, students will brainstorm, prototype, test, and refine their projects, learning how math, physics, and engineering principles turn ideas into real solutions. By the end of the class, they will understand the science behind engineering and experience the excitement of designing and building their own inventions.
