Engineering: Solar, Hydro, & Wind (completed grades 2-5)STEMEngineering: Solar, Hydro, & Wind (2nd-5th) Combine engineering and alternative energy (solar, hydro, and wind)! Build cars, cranes, drawbridges, etc., from LEGO® kits and operate them using alternative energy sources. Students working in teams of 2 - 3, will experiment with wind, water, and solar panels, resulting in a high-powered, high-energy course! Projects include waterwheel, windmill, Ferris wheel, and solar car. Students achieve an understanding of how energy is developed from the sun, wind, and water. Solar energy can be captured by the LEGO® Solar Cell and used to power their models. Students will use the concepts they learned to design and create a test car to compete against their classmates on the last day. Instructor: Tech Academy M-Th, July 25-28 9:00 AM - Noon District Education Center Room 121 $160 Minimum 8/Maximum 182022 Summer

Popular3D Engineering: (completed Kindergarten-3rd grade)STEM3D Engineering: (completed Kindergarten-3rd grade) Bring your imagination to life. Become a master bricklayer and use our special architectural LEGO® kits to build your creations. Be an architect as you learn the principles of construction. The main goal of the course is to introduce the concept of 3 dimensions and their role in design. Working in teams, students will construct buildings, structures, towers, castles, and more. Students will learn construction principles and use math skills as they experiment with scale and size, staggering vs. stacking bricks, and more. We’ll build houses with removable roofs, castles with turrets, and towers of strength! It might just be impossible to exhaust the creative potential of LEGO® bricks. With an active imagination as your guide, there are endless possibilities. Instructor: Tech Academy M-Th, August 8-11 9:00 AM - Noon Wildwood Art Room 1130 $160 Minimum 8/Maximum 182022 Summer
