• Jr. Engineering & Architecture- (4th grade through 6 grade) This will be an extremely fun class full of
invention and learning! We will be spending our days alternating between engineering and architecture. The
kids from last year asked if we could alternate weeks instead of doing one topic each semester. We will be
exploring the world of Architecture this year by learning about various architects from ancient times
through to the present. For engineering, we will work to build our knowledge of how things work by
exploring machines and building our own. We will also be learning (or continuing to learn) about LittleBits
and what they can do! This class will differ from last years’ for those students interested in taking it again.
Open to students in 4th-6th/7th grades. Others considered upon request. If you have questions contact
