Engineering & Electricity Week at Science Akadémeia!
This week, our campers became young engineers as they explored building, motion, simple machines, circuits, electricity, creativity, and problem-solving.
Using LEGO bricks, LEGO BricQ, K’NEX, Bridge Builder kits, magnetic train tracks, Snap Circuits, Makey Makey, and other hands-on STEM materials, our students built bridges, towers, LEGO cities, train tracks, tree houses, balloon race cars, chain reactions, and simple circuits.
The highlight of the week was our Makey Makey guitar activity, where campers created working guitars and discovered how touch, conductivity, electricity, and technology can come together to make music.
Our campers also explored motion through balloon race cars, built simple circuits with Snap Circuits, and practiced the Engineering Design Process: Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Test, and Improve.
We also enjoyed a special Snapology visit, where our younger campers explored the Jr. Builders Program and our older campers built with LEGO BricQ materials.
And of course, the ongoing World Cup frenzy made its way to the playground, where students organized their own soccer games, practiced teamwork, and brought their excitement for the game into outdoor play.
What a wonderful week of building, testing, creating, and thinking like engineers!
Engineering Meets Electricity. Creativity Meets Innovation.
