Showcase: Tech Arts and Crafts

Students can choose what they would like to create and showcase for Technology:

Sewing small treats (like a happy face donut!)

More K'Nex and Lego Mindstorms

We are programming our robots:  making them move, turn, roll over blocks and more...

K'Nex Creations

The Big Race

Our campers wanted to race their K'Nex cars...a big eventful day!

Race Car Fever

Using our K'Nex pieces and various types of "motors", the campers designed:

 Wind Racer


















Short Rubber Band Racer:  attaching a rubber band to the front axle, then pull the end of the rubber band to a connector on the back wheel axle;  wind the back wheels 5 times;  set racer to floor and release.  Our second or first try we overwound and broke the rubber band!





Battery Powered Racer:  several campers modified their racer by adding more motors or different types of wheels:

Our first session with campers.  We followed building guidelines or engaged in free building with Legos and K'Nex.  Here are some of our creations:
