Grades K-1
Basic LEGO Engineering Junior
LEGO Engineering Junior is a 6-week program designed especially for kids in grades K-1.The activities promote teamwork and critical thinking skills as kids investigate basic engineering concepts using DUPLOs. Perfect for the young builder with tiny hands to build a seesaw, vehicle, and spinning top and other fun working mechanisms.
LEGO Engineering Junior Imagineers
A Wicked Cool For Kids exclusive! Using LEGO Duplos, kids in K-1 will listen to stories based on popular fairy tales. Using the engineering design process, kids will then create solutions to help solve their hero’s problems using simple machines. Help Lego Sam and Sara create Rapunzel’s tower and a pulley system to lift her lunch! Prince Charming’s buggy is busted – can Sam and Sara build a Charming Car to carry the Prince’s blocks and save the day? This program will emphasize creativity, cooperation, engineering, math and literacy skills.
Grades 1-5
Wicked Gross Science
Gross Science is not for the easily queasy! The gross yet fascinating things in life hide many science secrets -like what’s hidden in a diaper! Discover acids and bases and make putrid potions. We will baffle bacteria and make model mucus, create alien slime and dissect owl puke! Guaranteed to be grossly amusing. (fall 1)
Solar System Sleuths
Solve the mysteries of the Solar System as we embark on an eight planet expedition. We will explore icy dwarf planets, gas giants, and find out why Pluto is no longer considered a planet. Journey to the rocky planets and create a 3D model solar system. Make a stop on the moon, create some craters, and build a model satellite as we learn about the pull of gravity. (fall1/fall 2)
Girls Science Club
Engaging hands-on chemistry projects will encourage girls to be junior scientists. Unlock the secrets of the laboratory to create customized soaps, lip balms and lotions. Explore how chemists create formulas and make your own cool products to take home. Learn about chemical properties and reactions while making fizzing potions and smelly solutions! (fall2/winter)
Superhero Science
What makes a superhero super? Physics! Conduct gravity experiments to learn what it would take for Superman to leap over tall buildings in single bound. Create optical illusions to understand how Wonder Woman’s jet can disappear. Investigate how Spiderman (and real spiders) can walk up walls. Examine Batman’s super gadgets that help him fight crime. Morph into the world of superheroes using the science that could make superheros a reality. (winter/spring)
Anatomy Academy
Attention future doctors! The Anatomy Academy is now in session. We’ll delve into the human body’s fascinating system of cells, tissues and organs. Create a model of blood, skin and tour the digestive system. Build a working representation of the lungs and make a creepy cool model of the eye. You’ll learn you are smarter than you think when we learn all about the brain and how it works. (spring/fall 15)
