Engineering: Crazy Action Contraptions
Unleash your imagination as you journey through the wide-ranging world of LEGO® building. Working in pairs, students will build models and discuss the engineering science behind each creation. This engaging, hands-on class shows how engineering can be both silly and educational at the same time. Students will then be challenged to improve and customize their designs for added creativity. Possible projects include the never-look-back machine, skittletops, do-nothing machine, coat hanger daredevil, trapdoor cable car, parachute machine, rubber band racer, and other wild contraptions.
*Exact age/grade availability depends on each district's listing.
What Students Will Do
Learn engineering concepts through crazy machines like a rubber band racer and balloon powered car.
