Description:

How do you design a sailboat with LEGOS to glide as fast and far as possible using only the wind power of a box fan? Learn about force and motion while testing your engineering and critical thinking skills in this LEGO design-build camp. You will work in teams to brainstorm your yacht designs -- experimenting with different size sails and wheels -- to make your land-boat fly across the “waves” in speed challenges. Demonstrate all you’ve learned about building the sleekest, speediest yacht by competing in a culminating regatta with fellow campers.

Content will be the same each session.
