The Mobile STEaM Lab's Science Summer School Program "A Simple Task"
July 1 - 5, 2024
Embark on a thrilling journey into the world of engineering with "A Simple Task" science camp! Inspired by the ingenious designs of the legendary Rube Goldberg, known for his whimsical cartoons featuring elaborate contraptions that perform simple tasks in the most convoluted and entertaining ways, this week-long adventure promises endless fun and discovery.
Join us as we delve into the fundamentals of "6 simple machines" and harness their power to create our very own Rube Goldberg machines. From pulleys and levers to inclined planes and beyond, kids will explore the principles of engineering from design to drafting to construction. With boundless creativity and controlled chaos, children will engineer contraptions that defy expectation and ignite imaginations while learning invaluable lessons in problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration. .
Don't miss this opportunity to unleash your inner inventor and join us for "A Simple Task" science camp, where the possibilities are as endless as your imagination!
