For the first half of the session, students explore an apocalyptic future in Minecraft EDU, one where the earth has been ravaged by a series of natural disasters. Each day, students rely on the engineering design process to solve a series of virtual engineering challenges such as building a city on a series of islands, escaping from a bunker on Mt. Everest, and even building a rocket to land on the moon! Through application of engineering principles, students solve numerous challenges as they make their virtual world of Minecraft a safe place for humanity once again. For the second half, we put the virtual world away and students explore Aerospace Engineering with hands on building! They use the Engineering Design Process to design, create, test, and refine a variety of flying machines. They construct a shock absorbing system designed to protect astronauts in a lunar vehicle, create their own air-powered rockets, and more! Based on National Standards, we offer exciting and challenging hands-on experiences every week!

Children will begin to explore the world of robotics as they build moving animals that teach the fundamentals of robotic design.
