Spring 2013 Be an Inventor

Be an Inventor, our after school program for 3rd–8th graders, will run March–June on Mondays and Wednesdays this spring. The program gives young Inventors the opportunity to learn useful design and fabrication skills, like soldering, computer-aided design, and handsawing wood, that they then use on projects that they come up with. In previous Be an Inventor sessions, our students have designed and built a lot of different things! For instance:

Sometimes we’re eyeballs for Halloween…

and sometimes we’re inside our own tank made of cardboard, wood, and wheels.

Sometimes we use a drill press or other power tools to get our work done…

but before drilling, cutting, sawing, or whatevering we start by drawing out a plan.

Sometimes we put the antenna on top of a model skyscraper,

and sometimes make a plane that might fly right by that building.

We might decide to take a spin in our very own pedal-powered car,

build a gearbox from scratch,

or make a Dino-Shark even scarier that it already was!

(Here’s the finished Dino-Shark. Keep your fingers away from its mouth!)

All the pieces come together to make the Clean Machine 3000 (a cleaning robot),

and even a working boombox and nightlight.
