This is a hands-on, free-building class where you learn how things work by making them! Our instructors introduce physics concepts in an age-appropriate manner and teach kids to use a variety of materials and tools for building and testing structures, vehicles, and devices. Students experiment and learn about things like balance, motion, structural strength, mechanical advantage, and the properties of sound, light, electricity and magnetism—we offer some Serious Fun!
As before, we will revisit core topics from the previous seasons, to get new learners familiar with the concepts and to make sure that the understanding is solid with our returning students. But be assured, we always add some new material, activities, and exciting challenges to keep the learning fresh and interesting!
Pricing and Discounts
Tuition is $250 for a session of 5 weekly lessons with all materials and supplies included. Monday sessions of September and October are shorter due to holidays, so the tuition is prorated. We offer a 5% discount for each additional student enrolled from the same family.
If your child would love more time per day: We offer continuous class time from 3:30 to 6:15pm with drop-off starting as early as 3:15! Sign up for back-to-back classes (both the "A" and "B" classes on the same day, for nearly 3 hours of build-time per class), and the second class will include a 25% discount. So for 5 weekly lessons, the total tuition is $250 + $187.50 = $437.50 instead of $500. For an effective rate below $30 per hour with all materials included, this is a steal!
