 Summer Tech Camp Courses

Motorized Mechanical Engineering


About this Camp:
If you have a learner who likes building things and figuring out how things work, they will love this class. Join us as we explore, investigate & solve problems while we learn about the building blocks of mechanical engineering. This exciting engineering class combines LEGO® Education & LEGO® Technic™ materials to explore motorized and self powered action machines by building realistic models. Students working in pairs will enjoy hand-on activities with using LEGO® materials that include levers, gears, wheels, axles & pulleys that incorporate math, science & creativity. Fun action packed motorized models may include: cars, go karts, merry-go-rounds, pulleys, drawbridges, roller conveyor, crane, and more. The high emphasis on building techniques will develop a strong understanding of mechanical principles. Students will also be challenged to solve problems, encouraged to apply what they learn and come up with creative solutions to engineering challenges.
