Dive into the exciting world of Land Surveying and Mapping where you’ll learn how to measure and map the Earth! We’ll use drones to soar high and see landscapes from above, use high tech satellite GPS systems to explore boundary lines to understand property boundaries, and discover how we map out the world we live in. Get ready to navigate, explore, and create maps that help shape our future! Join us to unlock the secrets of the land beneath our feet!  (24)

Feeding a growing world is one of the most vital future needs for all of us! In this session, students will have fun “breaking out” of lock boxes (similar to an escape room) while learning about many career paths that are available to them and how these jobs relate to agriculture and feeding the world. Come and be challenged! Limit 24 Students. (24)

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

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)

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)
