Get ready to explore the world from the ground beneath our feet to the sky above! In this hands-on class, students will explore a new branch of engineering each day. We will design bridges and towers like civil engineers, and tinker with forces and motion like mechanical engineers. We’ll investigate surprising material reactions in chemical engineering, and dream up eco-friendly solutions in environmental engineering. We will finish the week by taking to the skies with aerospace engineering as we experiment with flight and aerodynamics. Students will design, test, improve, and present their projects in this fast-paced, teamwork-powered adventure.
