Fairy Tale Science 

Fairy tales are filled with magical creatures, daring heroes, and cunning villains - but they also hold fascinating connections to science and history.

Step into the role of an inspired engineer as you journey through these timeless stories. Explore the science behind Humpty Dumpty’s great fall and uncover how gravity played a part. Put your engineering skills to the test by determining which of the Three Little Pigs’ houses could withstand an earthquake. Then, channel your creativity to design and play a musical instrument fit for the Pied Piper of Hamelin’s band.

All of this and more - dive into enchanting projects to discover how the magic of fairy tales meets the marvels of science!

Machines in Motion

Kids love the mystery and surprise of seeing inside devices we use every day, looking behind the refrigerator, searching for lost treasures, and understanding how things are made.  So, let your imagination run wild by discovering the exciting applications of mechanical engineering.  Investigate levers, pulleys, wheels, and hydraulics to enhance critical thinking skills and creativity while building simple machines. 

This class is designed for curious students who not only want to know “what’s inside,” but also “how things work.” 

Aerospace Academy

Get ready for takeoff!
