Leadership Games
Kids receive the largest benefits when they take all four (4) sections of Engineering University below, as each provides a piece of the puzzle for long-term outperformance:
#1 - Engineering University: Our World According to Physics
Students investigate the coolest products on the planet and explore the core science that makes them work in this section (#1 of 4) of Engineering University. Young scientists will get a kick learning how to bend light and use vibrations to to power new innovative devices.
This popular course is designed exclusively to increase conceptional understanding of basic physics in PreK-5th Grade students, using the Top 10 KSL Classic Science Laws & Lessons from the past 15 years.
#2 - Engineering University: Design Time Live!
Kid Creators everywhere will unite in this STEAM camp focusing on core innovation, creativity, and toy innovations. Students will discover how engineers and marketers build exciting toys, modify designs, and learn the design thinking skills to power their imaginative creations.
Parents with Max Learning 4-packs and Science Pro 2-packs love that DESIGN TIME LIVE! compliments our other STEAM Camps with real manufacturing techniques to empower kids in section #2 of 4 of Engineering University.
#3 - Engineering University: Gadgets & Inventions
Adventurous Kids in this STEAM Camp journey against the clock to uncover the science mysteries inside a coded treasure box, create ingenious tools that solve real science problems, and imagine the GADGETS & INVENTIONS that will power a better future tomorrow.
This futuristic camp will experiment with magnetic locks, create disappearing ink, and use design thinking to make mini-gadgets, while developing new problem solving skills .
#4 - Engineering University: ChemBusters
Combining all-time mythbusting chemistry with Problem Solving Engineering skills, kids will explore the science in lava, potions, and ratios that will unlock their curiosity with chemical properties of liquids.
Whether it’s investigating why mixing orange juice + milk results in chemical reactions, or using hands-on science to explore the thickness and density of syrups, these ChemBusters are the New Scientists in town.
