The Mission to Mars: NASA Helicopter Project will teach students to investigate and explain how Newton’s third law of motion plays a role in rotary-winged flight and how a propeller’s design determines the direction of the thrust it creates. They will then use the engineering design process to modify a design to achieve a prescribed goal.
Thursday, Sept. 30, 6-9 p.m., 18+, Cost: $45, CRN: 10555
STEAM at Nunez and the Skillshop is offering a One Day Build workshop. Learn to design and cut out a wooden door hanger with your family initial.
Saturday, Oct. 9, 9 a.m.-12 p.m., Grades 6-8, Cost: $25, CRN: 10554
The Intro to Robotics Workshop will introduce students to the fabrication and programming of a robot using Lego Spike Prime robot. Students will use the engineering design process to create a robot that meets a desired goal.
Saturday, Oct. 16, 8 a.m.-2 p.m., 18+, Cost: $100, CRN: 10553
Forklift Certification Training.
