- March 8 & 22 - Minecraft Engineering
- Using the popular game, students can build complex structures, solve challenges, and explore engineering and design concepts. Through guided instruction and creative freedom, students learn about architecture, resource management, and problem-solving. They explore how to design efficient layouts, utilize materials effectively, and innovate with different building techniques.
- April 5 & 26 - Go Green!
- Students discover the importance of sustainability and conservation. Join us as we learn about renewable energy sources like solar and wind power and explore ways to reduce waste and recycle. Blending science and practical solutions empowers kids to become eco-conscious.

- June 21 - Extreme Coasters
- Dive into the thrilling world of roller coasters and amusement park rides. Students become engineers as they design, build, and test their own mini roller coasters. Using scrap materials (and lots of tape!), kids learn about the physics of motion, including concepts like gravity, acceleration, and energy transfer.
- July 19 - Circuit Safari
- Kids build and test their own circuits using LittleBits. Create light-up designs and experiment with motors and buzzers. With engaging challenges and guided instruction, our young inventors gain a deeper understanding of electrical concepts such as voltage, resistance, and conductivity.
- August 16 - Weather Wonders
- Learn about meteorology by creating a rain cloud in a jar, making a tornado in a bottle, or designing a simple barometer. Through interactive experiments and fun activities, students explore different weather phenomena and learn how to create their own mini weather systems.
