Youth Education Classes

Engineering & Simple Machines (Age 9-11) (YESCI 181)

Calling all aspiring scientists, engineers, and designers! Learn about solar, wind and DC motors and the role machines play in our day-to-day life. Practice using tools like levers, cams, gears and pulleys to build multiple models. Use your model to simulate real-life machines such as sweeping machines, windmills, and racing cars to aid in your exploration. You will have the opportunity to build your own designs as well. We will design and build several fun-filled models such as solar car, alien-walker, dog-bot and much more.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Introduction to complex machines
  • Unit measurements and exercises using solar panels, levers, cams, gears and pulleys
  • Simulating real-life machines
