Our Commonpoint Queens partners were excited to bring new STEM projects and technology to their summer programs, but this time without computers! This was the perfect opportunity to inspire a group of incredible young engineers and to spark a lifelong interest in how things are made. We aimed to bring fresh experiences to the students through building and testing roller coasters, bridges, skyscrapers, and more. Our instructor worked with the students to build teamwork, communication skills, and learn foundational engineering concepts!
Our new summer engineering courses were engaging and exciting to our students, and they were thrilled to be able to try their structures and machines! Roller coaster design was a huge success for bringing these engineering concepts to our groups in a way that had them excited to try more every day. By the end of the summer, our young engineers had bridges that spanned the classroom, rollercoasters taller than them, and tools for measuring and moving that they crafted themselves.
Students at PS 169 made and tested their own roller coasters, using and learning about momentum, speed, and balance in their building projects!
These students at JHS 185 worked together to create all sorts of engineering tools and machines like this grabbing tool, scales, wheelbarrows, and more!
Some of our younger students gained an understanding of engineering by building buildings and structures, from a simple A-frame house, to towering skyscrapers and bridges!
