Day 1 (Tues): Introduction to Mechanical Engineering & Catapult
Students will get an overview of technology, mechanical engineering and the Engineering Design Process. The catapult activity will provide a basic knowledge of how and why catapults were first created. Students will build a catapult using a spoon to power their projectile. Students will also explore the mechanics of catapults in order to increase precision and accuracy.

Day 2 (Wednesday): Marble Run
Marble Run introduces the concept of how to create a hypothesis to students. Using angles to adjust the trajectory of their marble, students will attempt to create a track that is able to guide a marble successfully to the bottom of the track and into a cup. Though design, students will create a hypothesis and then adjust a range of variables to prove the hypothesis correct.
