Students learn fundamental engineering principles by building and customizing a variety of 'crazy action contraptions' using LEGO® bricks in a collaborative setting.
Students will embark on an imaginative journey into the world of LEGO® building, focusing on engineering science through hands-on projects. Working in pairs, participants will construct various models and delve into the engineering principles behind each creation. The camp emphasizes that engineering can be both enjoyable and educational. Campers will be encouraged to enhance and personalize their designs, fostering creativity and problem-solving skills. Potential projects include building a never-look-back machine, skittletops, a do-nothing machine, a coat hanger daredevil, a trapdoor cable car, a parachute machine, and a rubber band racer, among other wild contraptions. This engaging class aims to develop an understanding of basic engineering concepts through practical application and creative exploration.
A typical day involves students working in pairs to build LEGO® models, discussing the engineering science behind their creations, and then customizing or improving their designs.
This camp is ideal for elementary-aged students who enjoy hands-on building, have an interest in how things work, and want to explore engineering concepts in a fun, creative environment.
