bots harness energy from the sun to power an electric motor to get moving. Build a drummer robot that marches along, beating a drum; an armadillo robot that does somersaults; a solar bug that crawls on six legs, and more!. Use our free build and robotics kits to create your own designs. Come join us for some robot fun!
Space Robot: Mission To Mars
Let imagination take flight with this solar-powered workshop that explores Mars, our Solar System, and space travel! Mission Specialists use their very own Solar Space Fleet kit to create different moving models that use three different interchangeable energy sources: solar energy, rechargeable battery, or battery pack. View 3-D images of Mars' surface, launch paper rockets, and fly a demo of the Ingenuity helicopter. Time to blast off for fun!
Up, Up, & Away!
This workshop explores things that are used to move through the air, like airplanes, bridges, rockets, and helicopters.
Build your own rubber band-powered model airplane, solar powered helicopters, and paper rockets. Learn simpleengineering skills about aviation and bridge-building, then use your skills to build a bridge and try-out our flying drones. It's time to fly away with fun!
