In Mechanics 101 we will cover some topics such as:
-
Levers
-
Gears and ratios
-
Simple pulleys
-
Mechanical assembly
-
Using screws and bolts
-
Motors
We recommend this workshop to students in the 4th through 6th grades. Our approach is to use hands-on kits and games to convey fundamental concepts. For the Mechanics 101 module, we’ll be using a 4-wheel vehicle kit. Each student will take the kit back home to continue learning at their own pace.
The cost of the kits is $30, and the 2 hr workshop is a separate $30 charge. In the spirit of promoting children's education and supporting our community, we have a special pricing of $20 for this event.
