Implemented at participating middle schools in either an after-school or in-school setting, students participate in engineering design challenges rooted in scientific concepts, collaboration, inquiry, CAD design, and innovation.

6th Grade - CO2 Dragsters

It's time to rev up those engines! During the fall semester, our student engineers use CAD software and virtual analysis to design, build, and race their very own CO2 dragsters!

6th Grade - Wind Turbines & Electricity

In this semester's challenge, student engineers must engineer a blade design for a wind turbine that will allow their wind turbine to generate electricity. The Challenge? Can our engineers generate enough electricity to power an entire neighborhood with only the use of a slight breeze to send the blades spinning!

7th Grade - Dobot Robotic Arms & Body Systems

Throughout the fall semester, student engineers will apply their knowledge of body systems and utilize their coding skills to program a robotic arm to perform a life-saving surgery on a fictional patient!

7th Grade - Virtual Reality

Stay tuned for more information about our exciting new program!

8th Grade - TETRIX Robots

Student engineers participate in a year-long project using TETRIX robots. Engineers must build and program their robots to solve a variety of challenges - all based on real-world scenarios.

From writing a program to have their robot to perform a search and rescue in a disaster area to programming a robotic guide dog that can safely lead people who are blind to their destinations, our 8th graders are on the path to becoming the programmers and engineers of tomorrow!
