Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
Beginner Level
Put on your engineering hats and let's "Make-It With Paper"! In this STEM-based class, participants will first learn the about the value of basic geometric shapes in engineering and get inspiration from real-life building examples. Learners will be guided by the instructor to use the engineering design process to plan and execute their project. Then the challenge begins: create, design and make a structure from paper that will hold the weight of a heavy object. Learners will share their results with each other and discuss the trials and triumphs of their process.

 Participants will receive a paper certificate that can be re-engineered into a trophy.

Class Policy:
1) Have Fun!!

2) Classes will begin and end at the scheduled times. 

3) If there are no learners in the classroom at the start time, the instructor will wait 10 minutes before ending the class. Please see Outschool's policy for late or missed classes.

4) To ensure safety and security, all participants are required to turn on their cameras at the beginning for an identity check. In addition, participants are expected to talk during this class, so a working microphone is required. 

5) Please see Outschool's policies for multiple learners from the same household.

6) Parents are welcome to be nearby to assist with IT issues or fine motor skills, however, please remain off-camera and off-mic.
