Presented in partnership with UCSD Extension K-12 College Exploration.
Classes will run the week of December 19th -23rd, 9:00AM to 3:00PM
Design and Build Your Own Clean Energy Drag Race Vehicle!
This is a fun way to learn about energy, physics, and engineering while building and racing your own 1:20 scale model car.
Experience the excitement of new fuel cell technology, and discover the possibility of using 100% clean fuel to power cars of the future. All students will get to keep their car designs when the class is over.
During the construction of the car, we will utilize Computer Aided Design (CAD) for modeling the custom chassis at a 1:20 scale, which we will then have custom laser cut for each unique vehicle. In addition to CAD, there will be basic Physics, Chemistry, Math, and mechanical engineering principals to help design the improvements on the vehicle. At the end of the course, you will have created your own 1:20 scale hydrogen powered fuel cell vehicle that works! You will then compete for the fastest drag racer design, in an exciting Hydrogen Fuel Cell Race and Competition.
$ 195 Fee + $150 Fuel Cell Car Kit (students keep)
Holiday Digital Gift Design
Make the coolest gifts and decorations for the holidays while learning about science and technology!
Build your own blinking LED ornaments, wreaths, menorahs, lanterns, and other festive designs. Create custom tech gifts that you design and keep. Your creations can become decorations for your home, or gifts for your family and friends.
In this class, students will learn about and apply principles related to industrial design, electronics, and fabrication, and will learn to use industry-standard vector editing software such as Adobe Illustrator to create products that will then be cut using CNC (computer-numerically-controlled) equipment.
$ 195 Fee + $50 Materials Kit
