• Let's Build Rube Goldberg Machines! | Grades 2-9 | July 5-7

  The best thing a child can learn is that failure is part of life—you may not always get things the first time. It takes perseverance, patience, and effort. I teach the kids that we can learn from failure—we learn by trying again, we learn from each other, and we learn the importance of teamwork. Kids will learn who Rube Goldberg was and build, create, and design their own Rube Goldberg machines. This camp is all about engagement, problem-solving skills, and project-based learning. Kids will use blocks, dominos, cups, Bee-Bot robots, marble runs/tracks, magnets, KIBO robots, bouncy balls, make space materials, and much more. Come join me for hands-on building fun!

All riders must be willing and capable to ride their bike for two to three hours (with many breaks in between). All riders must have their own working mountain bike, properly fitting helmet, water, and any snack they may want during their session. This is a one-session camp. Each day we will ride the trail systems at Stratham Park. The rides will be a NO DROP, meaning we will stop and wait for the group to catch up at each trail intersection.
