Fun-Gineering with Simple Machines

Ages 8-12 years
Using Lego™ Educational kits, budding engineers will learn about simple machines by building models of real-life devices such as a folding lawn chair, a car, drawbridge or a conveyor belt. They will learn about the concepts of pulleys, levers, wheels and axles, and gears and bring their projects to life using battery operated motors. Through the building of realistic motorized models, students will develop an understanding of mechanical principles. They will explore, investigate, and solve problems in a fun group environment. 2 children per LEGO® kit. Instructed by Computer Explorers.
