Space Works Teen Maker Hour is BACK!
Space Works: A Makers Lab Activities
* Disclaimer: Because of the technological equipment and the dexterity and skills necessary to safely operate classroom tools, this space and its activities are designed for students aged 12 and older (middle and high school). Free*
August Space Works Theme: Engineering & Design
This month, we'll explore the fundamentals of engineering and design by investigating how creative ideas become practical solutions. Participants will learn how engineers use the design process to identify problems, develop and test ideas, improve prototypes, and create functional designs.
Schedule and Class Descriptions
Teen Maker Hour: Cardboard Engineering
Get ready to engineer for space! In this hands-on maker lab, teens will learn how engineers use prototyping and the design process to develop spacecraft and space technology. Using cardboard and maker tools, students will practice planning, measuring, safe cutting on a cardboard saw, and model assembly as they build detailed 3D models of space-inspired objects. Part engineering challenge, part creative build, each project will strengthen real-world maker skills while bringing an original space design to life.
Fridays (1 – 2 p.m.): August 7, 14, 21, 28
Saturdays (1 – 2 p.m.): August 8, 15, 29
