Our Activities
Skimmer Lab
Intro to Engineering
In this activity, students will create a skimmer that will slide across the floor with ease if their measurements are accurate and their workmanship is exceptional.
3D Playground
Design & Modeling
Students will use computer software to create a 2D sketch of playground parts. They will then assemble all parts into a 3-dimensional playground model.
Brain Dissection
