Constructing A Pendulum Art Machine

This class introduces students to Oscillatory Motion.  Through the construction of Pendulum-Powered Art Machine, students will learn about the mechanics of pendulums, experiment with different variables affecting the swing, (like Gravity and Tension Force), and ultimately create unique geometric designs.

Constructing A Pneumatic Machine

This class not only introduces the Physics concept of Motion to students, but it also teaches them the difference between Hydraulic-Powered Machines and Pneumatic-Powered Machines.  Students continue to explore these concepts by creating their own Pneumatic-Powered Machine that produces motion through air pressure.

Constructing A Bridge & Tower

During this class, students get the opportunity to explore Engineering principles (like Friction, Gravity, and Tension ) and the technology behind architectural structures, by constructing a Bridge as well as a Tall Tower strengthened with reinforcements. This project will provide hands-on experience with structural integrity, reinforcement techniques, and the impact of seismic activity on buildings.
