Students explore the world of 3D printing by designing and printing their own creations using Tinkercad. In 3D Printing 1, students learn basic design principles and print simple models. In 3D Printing 2, they expand skills to create more complex designs with textures, moving parts, or color changes. Classes focus on creativity, problem-solving, and bringing ideas to life with real 3D prints.
Learn the fundamentals of drones and their real world applications. Students will practice piloting a drone manually and then try to fly it autonomously by programming it with Scratch coding. Finally, students will put their piloting skills to the test in a challenging drone obstacle course that they’ll help to design.
Curiosity peaks when children are faced with using everyday materials to solve real world problems. Students will be introduced to new challenges each week with hands-on projects that encourage problem solving and collaboration in an interactive learning framework that encourages exploration. Creative problem-solving and unique STEM skills are at the core as students participate in challenging activities that foster a love of science, technology and engineering.
Mix science and snacks! Explore chemistry and physics through fun, hands-on experiments you can eat.
Unleash creativity with SJIC’s LEGO Builders program. Participants design and build unique LEGO creations using engineering principles and teamwork. From simple structures to complex models, students develop spatial reasoning, fine motor skills, and problem-solving abilities. Projects vary by season to inspire innovation and fun at every level. Ideal for young makers who love to explore, build, and imagine.
Join us for Kids’ Lego Night! 
LEGO Builders Night offers kids a fun, creative evening of open building with LEGO bricks. Participants can explore, experiment, and collaborate on unique creations in a relaxed setting. Held one Friday each month at 6:00 pm, this event is perfect for young LEGO enthusiasts to let their imagination run wild. Registration required; space is limited.
