Jr. Makers Club I: Gr. K-3STEMJump into an exciting new school year with all-new lessons! Whether you're a new or returning student, the Engineering For Kids Jr. Makers Club offers hands-on, engaging activities each week to spark curiosity and creativity. Students will explore engineering concepts while developing essential 21st-century skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork, building confidence to tackle challenges in and out of the classroom. Some of the project include: Aerospace Engineering Stunt Plane- Students learn about the science of flight and design their own glider. Acoustic Engineering String Telephone- Students explore how sound travels by creating and testing their own string telephone. Mechanical Engineering Pyramid Slingshot- Students explore potential and kinetic energy as they design and build a simple pyramid‑style slingshot. Coding Unplugged: Binary Bracelets- Students learn how information is represented so that computers can interpret and store it, then create a simple binary bracelet. Environmental Engineering Bug in a Web- Students learn how spiders use their webs to catch bugs in nature, then build a simple bug‑in‑a‑web model inspired by how real webs work. Electrical Engineering Magnet Maze- Students learn about magnets, their properties, and how they are used in navigation tools like compasses, then create their own magnet‑guided maze. Registration Deadline Registration for all class sessions closes 3 business days before the start date. If you miss the deadline but are still interested, you can contact the Community Ed office. Space may be limited, but we'll try our best to accommodate late registrations. Email: communityed@edinaschools.org Phone: (952) 848-3952Youth Fall 2026
