Over 5 weeks, students will explore 5 different disciplines of engineering through hands-on building projects. Fun for new and returning students alike, each session ends with a take-home item built in class under instructor guidance, with opportunity to modify designs for students looking for an extra challenge! This 60-minute class allows plenty of time to explore the science behind the projects. Parents are welcome to stay for the class, or to drop students off and pick up at the end of class time.
