Come learn and explore circuit builds and the basics of electricity flow through circuits. In this session, students will become familiar with circuitry components like photoresistors, push buttons, batteries, LED’s, capacitors, and breadboards. Each build increases in complexity, and all components are reusable so that builds may be disassembled and recreated! Two 50-minute sessions and one 25- minute class. Limited 16 Students. (24)

Electrical Motors: For this class we will use two 20-minute sessions to explain how electric motors work and each student will build a simple electric motor that they can take home with them. Each student will build a motor kit, and then run the motor using a battery to learn how magnetism and electricity make a motor turn. Limit of 10 Students. Limited to grades 5-8. 

Electrical Circuits: is a 20 minute session where we will explain how an electic circuit works to turn on a light. Students will build a simple circuit they can take home. The project will have a battery, a switch, and a lamp they will connect with wire and be able to turn the light on and off. Limit of 10 Students. Limited to grades 5-8. (24)

The Career Quest Board Game will encourage students to practice being a smart saver, be a smart spender, learn how much education is required for different careers, and realize how the choices made today will affect the future.  (24)

Let’s talk about safety for young workers. Your first real job could come with real risks. Limit 24 Students. (24)

Explore various forms of energy and methods used in ND to generate electricity and other power sources. Includes hands-on activities to experience firsthand how energy is transformed and used. Limit 24 Students. (24)

Students will work as a team in groups to put together our CAN tests. It tests their mechanical knowledge, ability to work as a team, and is overall a very fun and fultilling activity! Limit 16 Students. (24)

Bridge Building 101 explores how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovation designs and the challenge of creating bridges that becomes landmarks for a city. Students work in teams of “engineers” to design and build their own bridge out of toothpicks and gumdrops. They test their bridges using weights, evaluate their results, and present their findings to the class.  (24)

The more you know about how to make money, how to save money, and how to spend money, the less likely it is that you will have problems as an adult. Do you know people who never seem to have enough money? If you don’t want to live that way, listen up. We have some good information to share with you today. (24)

Railroad Safety, trespass prevention, and how to report emergencies that occur while on or near railroad property. (24)

Overview of engineering at the North Dakota Department of Transporation. Includes highway contstruction, materials testing, surveying, and roadway maintenance. (24)
