Building A Mini Electric Air Conditioner
This innovative and hands-on 2-class project, teaches students how to build a homemade Mini Electric Air Conditioner in order to explore how energy transforms from one form to another. As they connect a battery-powered fan, they’ll discover how Electrical Energy is converted into Mechanical Energy to move air—and how that Air Circulation impacts our perception of Temperature. Along the way, students will deepen their understanding of Motion, Airflow, and Energy Conversion, all while creating a working model they can be proud of!

Constructing A Water Dispenser (w-Valve)
In this hands-on 1-class project, students will dive into the fascinating world of Fluid Dynamics by exploring how water moves and flows. Through the construction of a homemade Water Dispenser Machine—complete with a valve and spigot—students will learn how Gravity, Pressure, and Flow Control work together to influence the movement of water.
NEW:
Building An Electric Vacuum Cleaner
During this 3-class project, students will design and build their own homemade Electric Vacuum Cleaner to discover how motors, fans, and airflow work together to create suction. As they connect a DC motor to a power source, students will explore key STEM concepts including Electric Circuits, Current Flow, and the conversion of Electrical Energy into Mechanical Motion
Constructing A Pendulum Art Machine
This class introduces students to Oscillatory Motion. Through the construction of Pendulum-Powered Art Machine, students will learn about the mechanics of pendulums, experiment with different variables affecting the swing, (like Gravity and Tension Force), and ultimately create unique geometric designs.
Constructing A Pneumatic Machine
This class not only introduces the Physics concept of Motion to students, but it also teaches them the difference between Hydraulic-Powered Machines and Pneumatic-Powered Machines. Students continue to explore these concepts by creating their own Pneumatic-Powered Machine that produces motion through air pressure.
Constructing A Bridge & Tower
During this class, students get the opportunity to explore Engineering principles (like Friction, Gravity, and Tension ) and the technology behind architectural structures, by constructing a Bridge as well as a Tall Tower strengthened with reinforcements. This project will provide hands-on experience with structural integrity, reinforcement techniques, and the impact of seismic activity on buildings.
