Youth Special Interest
Jedi Engineering using LEGO®
Workshop
Supervisor: Amanda Heiman
e Force Awakens your young Jedi as they explore
engineering principles by designing and building
projects such as LEGO® X-Wings, R2 Units, Energy
Catapults, Defense Turrets, and Settlements
from a galaxy far, far away. Create motorized
and architectural projects with imagination and
engineering to defeat the Empire!
Min 11/Max 16
Code Play Learn – SPHERO SPRK
Supervisor: Amanda Heiman
Sphero allows exploration through play. With
SPRK+ students can learn the fundamentals of
coding: events, if statements, loops and more! Kids
can see how their code works immediately, enabling
them to evaluate what they did, what they thought
would happen and what actually happened. is
problem based learning approach enable each child
to develop his or her ability to think creatively,
work collaboratively and reason systematically.
Program is being held at Code, Play, Learn
at 136 N. Ridgeland Avenue.

Code Play Learn – Makers Class
Supervisor: Amanda Heiman
Our hands-on project approach allows kids to
develop an understanding of how motors, circuits
and energy work while building contraptions like
an ArtBot, Lantern, and Zipline Rocket Ship. We
will also create projects using our 3D carver from
Inventables. Using Easel, an image based soware
design tool, students can easily create designs that
we can cut right in front of their eyes!

Girl Powered Pre-Engineering
using LEGO® Workshop
Supervisor: Amanda Heiman
A Play-Well offering for girls who love to build!
is course will provide a supportive environment
for girls to build engineer-designed projects such
as boats, bridges, mazes, and motorized cars.
Explore the endless creative possibilities of the
LEGO building system with the guidance of an
experienced Play-Well instructor.
Let's Build It
Exciting Electronics is an exhilarating, cutting-
edge area of engineering. In this unit, students
will design, build, and test various circuits and
electronic projects. Instructors will guide students
through core concepts of electrical engineering,
introducing them to circuits and electrical
components. Students will use hands-on projects
and experiments to explore how electricity is part of
our daily lives. No previous experience is necessary,
just a desire to learn and build. Projects will
include: various sound producing circuits, musical
instruments, a simulated telephone, and even both
their own radio...and radio station.
Chain Reactions - See the laws of motion at
work in this thrilling, hands-on course. Students
will construct machines, like the Heavyweight
Hammer and the Spin-o-Matic, and then combine
them to create exciting chain reactions! Each week,
the chain reactions will become more complex with
the introduction of new machines. e projects
will afford students the opportunity to delve into
concepts such as force, gravity, velocity, types of
energy, and balance. At the end of the session,
students will be challenged to create the Ultimate
Chain Reaction by working cooperatively to see
how many machines they can incorporate.
