TIME: 50 minute lab
FEE: $75 for 20 students
CAPACITY: 20 students per class, 10 adults

Workshops will be held outside in a tent due to current restrictions

ENGINEERING DESIGN | K–2ND

Engineer your way through multiple problems. Design solutions while you experience the engineering process through questioning, planning, building, testing, and analyzing your creation.

MARVELOUS MAGNETS | K–3RD

Learn about magnets as we sort materials into magnetic and non-magnetic groups. Explore whether all metals are magnetic, make magnets attract and repel, even get them to float in mid-air!

FORCE AND SIMPLE MACHINES | 2ND–3RD

Push and pull your way through an exploration of force and simple machines. We’ll learn the golden rule of simple machines and explore how levers and inclined planes can make your work easier!

SOUND SCIENCE | 3RD–5TH

Discover the energy in sound waves and make waves that travel through different states of matter. Listen for pitch and frequency, and discover the amazing physics of sound.

CIRCUIT MASTERS | 4TH–5TH

Students will be “wired” after this electrifying introduction to circuits. Explore the two types of circuits and the parts that make them work. Build a burglar alarm and more with our safe, interlocking electronic components.

THE FUN OF FLIGHT | K–3RD

We’ll push and pull our way to successful flights in this lab! Students will learn about the engineering process as they create a paper rocket and chart how far it flies.

CRASH LANDING | 3RD–7TH

What goes up must come down in this classic egg drop experiment! Students are given credits to purchase materials to protect their egg from damage in freefall. Concepts in this workshop range from gravity to economics.

FLIGHT SCHOOL | 4TH–8TH

Design and create your own flying machine! Students will learn about the principles of flight while creating a variety of airplanes to test within the lab.

FEE: $2 per student
• Movie can be added during a lunch break (lunch room fee waived)

FLY GIRLS

A film documenting the important work of Women Air Service Pilots (WASPs) during WWII (50 min)

THE WILLOW RUN STORY

A 1940s Ford Motor Company promotional film in Black and White about the Willow Run Bomber Plant (55 min)

ANDY MEETS THE BLUE ANGELS

An animated feature about an adventure meeting the USN Blue Angels (30 min)

FEE: $5 per student for 5 minutes of flight time

Experience the thrill of flight from the pilot’s seat. Use a flight stick and rudder pedals to control a wide variety of civilian and military aircraft while immersed in a full sensory experience. Try your hand at navigating anything from the Wright Flyer, an Airbus A-380 double-deck Jumbo jet or even an F-35 fighter. These are best suited to pilots of at least 8 years of age. In addition to being fun to fly, you can also learn basic flight procedures and navigation skills. From takeoff to landing, you are in control.
