Do you love carnivals and arcade games? Want to create your own? In this class, students will use their creativity and engineering skills to construct complex machines that are fun and easy to play. You will start by drawing blueprints that show the top and side views of your game. You will then build your design using cardboard and other materials, add decoration to make it visually appealing. Your classmates will play-test your game and offer ideas to make it even better. What will YOU build for the MITY Arcade? A pinball machine? Skeeball? Marble drop? Claw machine? Mini golf course? Plinko? Mouse trap? Air hockey? The options are endless!

About Your Extraordinary Saturday (YES)

For 1st – 4th Grade Students

A New Adventure Every Weekend

MITY's program for elementary students enables inquisitive, high achieving 1st - 4th grade students to continue learning outside of the traditional classroom.  Courses are intentionally designed to inspire inquiry, activate imaginations, and engage eager learners in hands on discovery that is not possible within a regular classroom setting.  While students are in class, parents are invited to listen to professional speakers on topics related to raising bright children, socialize with other parents, or visit a local coffee shop.
