We made our own stomp rocket

PVC tubing, tape, paper, empty water bottle:

Stomp Rockets and K'Nex Roller Coaster

We investigated Foam vs. Paper Stomp Rockets....

The Serpent Coaster is close to completion....

Engineering of marble runs and gears in K'Nex

We learn the important of tweeks in our marble run set and proper orientation of K'Nex connectors:

J-Rock STEM camper needed to make adjustments to marble run structure to ensure that marble does not get stuck on loop.   She finds success in the next video

Watch the ferris wheel operate:

More engineering..

Each child will take some time to explore building with K'Nex, Keva Planks and the wood marble run kits.  They are having a blast and learning how to troubleshoot when it is not working properly.  Check out some of this constructive learning....

Engineering with Keva Blocks and K'Nex

We are building with Keva Blocks and K'Nex and Marble Run kits....

Look at our robots move!!

Programming has begun for our robots

Students are learning to make sounds, show pictures on the display and make the robots move.  It is very exciting! We hope to use light and ultrasonic sensors to help the follow a black line as well as stop when it detects an obstacle in front of it.

Crazy Action Contraptions revisited

A few new students join us this week.  Here are their creations:



Bottle Top Spinner

Beaker Blender 3000 making bubbles!!

A robot has come to life...

These students have completed the construction of the chassis and are thrilled to show off their robot:

They are beginning to add sensors and an arm to pick up a cube.

Stay tuned...

Lego Mindstorms EV3 & NXT

Students are excited to build a robot.  Here are samples of what students are beginning to build:
