Engineering Maker Program - Leprechaun Trap Design
Bring your creativity in this engineering maker program! We'll provide the materials, but it's up to you to create and build the structures that go along with the prompts. This sessions we will be designing and building a Leprechaun Trap using a variety of craft supplies such as toilet paper tubes, cardboard, paper chains, pipe cleaners, and more! Engineering and art from recycled materials is a great way to foster a child's creative expression and design thinking. This program encourages children to tackle problems through creative and innovative solutions. Children will also dive into the 6 processes of science they will observe, predict, question, test, retest and reflect on the materials, how best to use them, and if their solution works. Please only register the children participating in the program.
