About this Event
Participants will create their own STEM projects such as a hydraulic bridge and binary necklaces.
Hydraulic bridges activity introduces students to basic engineering principles such as hydraulics, levers, and structural design. Students build a working bridge model using syringes, tubing, cardboard, and water to simulate how real-world bridges lift and move. It promotes teamwork, problem-solving, and design thinking.
This coding-focused project helps students understand how computers store data using binary (0s and 1s). Students use two colors of beads to represent 0 and 1, and they “code” their initials, birthdates, or favorite characters into binary. It ties in math, computer science, and even art, as they decode and design unique accessories.
Students will also create catapults by designing and building a functional mini-catapult that can launch a small object (like a pom-pom or marshmallow) a measurable distance.
