Free Design Challenge Webinar Event

Nov 19, 2020 -
7:00pm - 8:00pm
Saturday Academy students working on a Rube Goldberg machine

Pandemic got you down? Need a fun new activity to interest those kiddos you’ve been stuck at home with for the past 8 months AND sneak in some science learning?

Engage in a hands-on STEM experience with Saturdays Academy! Learn to incorporate some basic physics, problem solving, and science inquiry while designing a Rube Goldberg machine that preforms a simple task in an indirect and overly complicated way. Get creative using found supplies at home and fashion simple machines to create energy and motion.

The experiment in this one-hour webinar is aimed at parents with elementary learners at home, but the challenge can be expanded for middle and high school students. Use this experience to find a little joy, spark curiosity, and engage the whole family.

Join Sandy Jewell, Saturday Academy’s Classes Coordinator, educator, and pandemic parent on the edge Thursday, November 19th at 7 PM for this free webinar and some good old science fun!
