Jr Aerospace Engineering (5-7 yrs old)

With this set of lessons, your child will learn about Aerospace Engineering by examining and creating all kinds of flying objects. The students will learn about lift and gyroscopic rotation as they create flying saucers. They'll see how size, weight, and materials affect parachutes. They'll experiment with the concepts of potential and kinetic energy as they create jets and whirling copters. And, they'll see the concept of thrust in action as they launch multiple rockets and even learn about neutral buoyancy with helium balloons!

Apprentice VEX IQ Robotics (8-11 yrs old)

A VEX IQ class is designed to expose students to STEM fundamentals within the context of building a robot. Without even realizing it, students will begin to instinctively apply these lessons to their as they advance through the program. This hands-on process, especially for younger students, establishes an intuitive and deep-rooted expertise that simply cannot be replicated by traditional teaching methods.
