LEGO Physics: Introduction   Grades 2-3

What is physics and how can it help students to build bigger and better LEGO machines? During this class students will discover how simple machines like levers, pulleys and gears work. They will construct a bridge and other devices, and use gears and cams to add movement. As they build their own moveable projects, students will learn about structural design, mechanical engineering and physics.

Dates:  Tuesdays, October 14 to December 9 (no class 11/11); 2:20-3:50 PM

Programming from ‘Scratch’       Grades 4-5

Learning computer programming with Scratch is fun! Scratch is a kid-friendly, open-source, popular language developed by MIT’s Media Lab. Students will learn the basics of computer game design and how key scientific concepts can be learned and practiced by playing an indie game. As students add more challenges to their games they will build their reasoning, de- sign and problem-solving skills.

Dates:  Tuesdays, October 14 to December 9 (no class 11/11); 2:20-3:50 PM
