Design intricate 3D objects using BlocksCAD, a software program that combines 3D modeling with block-based coding. You’ll learn computer coding, graphing skills, and 3-dimensional design. By dragging and dropping blocks of editable code that create and modify 3D shapes, you’ll use problem-solving to build models that can then be exported to a 3D printer.

Build and tinker as you explore the basics of electricity and coding. Use real electrical components, like breadboards, LEDs, resistors, and sensors, to build creative, interactive projects. Starting with block-based coding in mBlock, you’ll write programs to control lights, play music, simulate traffic lights, and detect motion. Step by step, you’ll gain confidence using both hardware and code.

Let’s get creative with electricity! Create your own electronics, such as light-up greeting cards, electric games, mazes, and even musical instruments. Each class consists of a circuitry lesson and a hands-on electronics project using components like lights, buzzers, switches, motors, and sensors. Most class days will include a project you can take home.

Make robots and electronic devices follow your instructions. Start with hands-on games to master the basics, then program a screen-free, educational coding robot to navigate a series of mazes. Once you’ve mastered those concepts, explore more complex programming in Scratch Jr. to create animated stories and games, turning coding logic into fun, interactive projects.

Be a cool chemist as we use primary colors to create a rainbow of slime, make amazing magnetized putty, and use the power of pH to make color-changing solutions. Dig deep into a diaper to uncover the science of superabsorbent polymers and create a classic mini-volcano eruption. Get ready for hands-on chemistry experiments that are as colorful as they are cool.

Get a fun, hands-on introduction to Artificial Intelligence. Explore basic AI concepts like facial recognition, pattern detection, and machine learning using Scratch and Google’s Teachable Machine. You’ll train simple models with images, build interactive games and animations, and watch your creations respond to real-world inputs. You’ll develop skills in logic, problem-solving, and creativity while discovering how AI is shaping our world.

Build a prehistoric world packed with dinosaurs, creativity, and imagination. Using hundreds of LEGOs, you’ll design towering herbivores, powerful predators, and curious creatures from the Jurassic era. Create habitats, plan daring expeditions, and uncover secrets about one of the most amazing chapters in Earth’s history.

Calling all Pokémon trainers! As a championship approaches, we’ll use LEGO to build and catch our favorite Pokémon, rescue Pikachu from Team Rocket, and take a ride on the S.S. Anne to uncover rare and mystic Pokémon. Come along on our journey to catch 'em all!

Start your engines and dive into the vast world of vehicles. Build and design an array of exciting machines, traversing land, sea, and air. While we build, we will also discuss the engineering principles behind motors, gears, and everything that vrooms and zooms!

Bring your favorite sports to life, from the basketball court to the sandy beach, in an action-packed LEGO adventure. Spend the day designing awesome stadiums, engineering machines that mimic real sports moves, and creating exciting games to play solo or with friends. Together, you’ll combine creativity and teamwork to design, build, and compete, making every moment a winning play.

It’s a new school year, and students aren’t the only ones preparing for the changing seasons. Squirrels are gathering seeds for winter, plants are producing fruit, and foxes and coyotes are growing thicker winter coats. Become a nature detective as you observe live animals, read stories, examine specimens, and explore the schoolyard to uncover how local wildlife adapts to the colder months.

Build a solid foundation in personalized game design as you develop unique Minecraft worlds. Embark on an exciting adventure in animation and storytelling, programming in Python and Javascript, and architecture and design. Learn the fundamentals of electrical circuitry, logic gates, multi-system mechanisms, modding, and more.

Turn simple tasks into wild chain reactions. Inspired by the zany world of Rube Goldberg, you’ll design and build machines where one thing leads to another—and another! Use marbles, ramps, and everyday objects to explore momentum, timing, gravity, and force. Embrace your inventive side and see how creative your contraptions can get.

Embark on a lunar engineering adventure as you design and build a moon base. Create a telescope to scout the perfect landing spot, launch model air rockets to test supply drops, and design moon rovers, plant-growing biospheres, and space modules where astronauts could live.

Explore the world of scientific discovery as you create a lava lamp, engineer a race car, or make a ping pong ball hang in the air. You may stir up invisible ink, create a volcanic eruption, or build a Newton’s Cradle. We’ll discuss the development and application of various scientific principles and build our science vocabulary using illustrations and handouts that you can use to recreate your experiments at home.

Get ready to mix, bubble, build, and explore with hands-on science experiments that spark your curiosity and creativity. You’ll make slime to learn about states of matter, build mini-volcanoes, launch paper rockets, test what sinks or floats, create simple circuits, make rainbow celery, explore the magic of magnets, and more. Ready, set, experiment!

Creative thinking meets engineering in this makerspace class. Explore gravity, momentum, and clever design as you build inventive contraptions. Projects include parachute drops, 3D illusions, roller coaster rides, and more, each designed to challenge your problem-solving and ignite your creativity.

Build and re-engineer components of everyday objects and recycled materials into your own cool inventions. We’ll explore physics concepts and engineering skills as we design and build marble mazes, ziplines, animated puppets, towering buildings, and more. You will be able to take some of your gadgets home too.
