Engineering is one of the best introductions to science for young learners. Through engineering, students can see how abstract concepts apply to real life and why engineering knowledge is so important to running the world around them.
This workshop for Explorers introduces students to some basic physics principles and how they pertain to engineering concepts. Instructors will demonstrate these concepts through a series of hands-on engineering projects that will give students a practical feel for what engineering is all about.
By the end of the workshop, students will be able to plan and put together a variety of basic engineering projects to demonstrate at home.
