Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 4
In this engaging and interactive one-time class, young learners will go on an exciting journey into the world of force and motion by creating their very own catapult using everyday materials. Guided by step-by-step instructions, participants will experience hands-on learning as they construct their catapults and discover the principles of physics in action.

The class goes beyond the simple construction of catapults; it encourages critical thinking and problem-solving skills as learners explore ways to enhance their catapults' launching capabilities. They will test and refine their designs, fostering a spirit of creativity and innovation.

During the class, learners will be encouraged to share their ideas, collaborate with peers, and embrace the power of teamwork. By engaging in open discussions and collective brainstorming, they will develop effective communication skills and learn from one another's perspectives.

With a focus on fun and enjoyment, this class provides a dynamic and supportive environment where children can explore and appreciate the wonders of science. The hands-on activities and interactive nature of the class create an inspiring space for young minds to grow and develop a deeper understanding of scientific principles through practical application.
