At Engineering for Kids, we believe that children are natural born engineers who have unlimited imaginations and unbridled enthusiasm. We offer fun, hands-on learning for children ages 4-12. Our activities range from building flashlights and rockets to programming video games and robots. The variety of programming is extraordinary.
Jr Mechanical Engineering: Widgets & Gadgets (Age 5-7)
Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest disciplines of engineering, as many inventions from Ancient Greece, China, and Persia continue to be used to this day with little modification. Mechanical engineers are responsible for designing parts of machinery, both on small and large scales, as systems of machines and maintaining these systems to achieve optimal performance. Junior Mechanical Engineering classes introduce our youngest engineers to fundamental concepts of energy, materials, and movement. Through open and focused exploration, students explore and construct their own roller coasters, catapults, cars, and more.
Junior Engineers Under Construction (Ages 5 - 7)
Put on your hard hats engineers and join us for our The Engineering of Cities! In this camp, students work hard to apply their knowledge of construction to save the beach from erosion and build their very own city from the ground up. From roads and tunnels to buildings and skyscrapers, students discover that no job’s too tough for an Engineering for Kids engineer! Building a city is more than roads and skyscrapers. In this camp, students explore civil, mechanical, and environmental engineering. Students explore the engineering behind objects that they see every day: skyscrapers, roads, tunnels, and even cranes.
