High School Toy Take-apart

The high school class did a reverse engineering analysis of a toy. After they were done they got to recreate the toys as they saw fit!

Junior High Bot Battle

The JH class made cup battle robots in our exploration of circuits. The final test was a competition battle with 1st place going to "Jebb" and 2nd place going to "Hopper."
Junior High spent a day figuring out how a solar toy worked, followed by lessons on circuit building.
The junior high class presented projects on the six simple machines.
​There is a lot of creativity in this group!
The upper elementary students have been visiting the lab this trimester.
​So far, we've been exploring the periodic table and circuits.
The high school class welcomed a guest speaker, Mr. Charlie Estes, who gave them insights into the design engineering process in the work place. Thank you, Mr. Estes!
