A portion of our engineering exploration involved the use of various materials. One of these materials was clay. We explored various clay homes then designed a plan to build our own. Each young engineer built a clay home of their own based on specific criteria: the home had to have a roof, a door or window, and had to stand upright. After exploring how to work with the clay, our young engineers got to work.  The Kiddie Science Engineering Club is made possible thanks to the incredible support from donors just like you. We would also like to thank the Flatbush Beacon Center for hosting the program.
As part of the engineering process, our young engineers learned about blueprints and the role they play in helping plan what a structure will look like. After looking at several actual blueprints, we designed our own based on either a real or imagined home. Thanks to the generosity of individual donors, our young engineers are able to use their blueprints to guide their home design using Lego bricks. The Kiddie Science Engineering Club is 100% funded through monetary and in-kind donations from supporters just like you. Thank you!
 Thanks to the amazing support of individual donors, the Kiddie Science Engineering Club kicked off a few weeks ago at the Flatbush Beacon Center! We've begun or exploration by discussing what engineering is and what engineers do. We built simple machines and have begun exploring things that fly. During this inaugural 6-week session, our goal is to explore how homes are built, learn about types of homes from around the world, and ultimately build a model home of our own. We look forward to sharing with you where our exploration takes us.
The Kiddie Science Engineering Club is available free of charge to all program participants and is 100% funded through in-kind and charitable contributions from individuals just like you. Thank you! |
