In this fun and engaging STEM and Creativity class we will use our favorite LEGO® bricks along with some extra supplies like rubber bands, balloons, and marbles to build a variety of marvelous moving machines. We will explore kinetic and potential energy, friction, force, and mass. We will also learn about Isaac Newton and his important laws of physics. In every class we will build a functioning model that can drop, stop, spin, roll, take off, or even clickety-clack. Along the way, we will develop creative problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills. Leave your LEGO at home, we’ll supply everything you need. There are no take-home projects.
