Fall WOW! Wednesdays STEM Program (K-5th Grades): Wednesdays (September to November)

This month we are making hydraulic arms that can lift or push things. They will be powered by syringes filled with water and connected with tubes. Later this month, we will have a tournament where we will see whose hydraulic bot is the strongest! Our WOW! Wednesday's STEAM program for elementary students in kindergarten through fifth grade explores Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math! The group meets every Wednesday (January to April and September to November) from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm in the Community Room. Please note: There will be no WOW! Wednesday on November 11^th because of Veterans Day. We will also have our Maker Space cart available for tinkering at each WOW! Wednesday. This month’s schedule includes:

• November 4^th: Hydraulic Arms – Miss Laura will demonstrate how hydraulics work, and kids can try to pick up items with the example hydraulic arm or try to build their own hydraulic arm.
• November 18^th: Judo Bots – Kids will build their own Judo Bots with hydraulic-powered arms to compete against each other in a tournament on November 25^th.
• November 25^th: Judo Bots Tournament – Kids will use the hydraulic-powered Judo Bots they built on November 18^th to face off in a robot tournament. Whose robot will stand above the rest?
