Fall 2024

Calling all future engineers! It’s time to develop your critical thinking, problem solving and collaboration skills through engineering disciplines.

New, hands-on lessons from various engineering disciplines. Focusing on developing 21st Century skills such as problem solving, critical thinking and peer collaboration.

These life skills provide students with the confidence to approach challenges in their lives and realize that they can succeed in almost anything! Engineering for Kids has a library of 300+ individual lessons which continues to grow so we never have to repeat lessons.

Fall 1 Lessons (classes beginning in September):

Order may vary.

Mechanical Engineering Buzzers	Students will learn about some properties of vibration, and make a Buzzer that they can manipulate to change the pitch of the vibrating noise.
