*To make the most of this class, please try to have at least one car and some track (or something that can act like a track).  We build, revise as needed, and build again.

Can you create a ramp that makes your Hot Wheels car fly with speed? How far can you make your car travel without touching it? In this class, our littlest engineers will design ramps, track, jumps and sometimes crashes to test out our designs.  For each class we will briefly discuss topics such as: aerodynamics, energy, force, gravity, and friction. All topics will be presented in a developmentally appropriate way. Hot Wheels naturally engages children’s curiosity and teaches them science and math without them even realizing it! This class will introduce kids to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math), promote a Growth Mindset and develop critical thinking skills. With inquiry-based investigation, guidance and discussion,  students will build, test and revise their creations.

Looking for something more?  I also offer classes designed for 5-8 year olds as well as 9-14 year olds.  Each age-levelled class dives deeper into the science of force and motion. 

Learners will investigate a topic by building track and revising, have the option to share what they discovered or share their favorite Hot Wheel car.

Parents: It would be helpful to build a little bit of track prior to the start of class. That way the learners can engage in testing out the science a bit faster.

 Please note: This is a reoccurring subscribed class. 

*To make the most of this class, please try to have at least two cars and some track (or something that can act like a track).  

The class structure will be: 
10 minutes instruction on a physics concept
15 minutes of building the ramp, testing out the concept
5 minutes to share discoveries
