Robot City Workshop assisted students with building beeper robots on February 4th. During the lab students learned the components of a circuit and examples of sensors. Examples of the how robots influence our everyday lives were shared as the students discussed engineering occupations.
February 11th wrapped up the winter session with the science behind food lab hosted by The Kids Table Cooking School. The group discussed the relationship between math and science as it relates to recipes and professional careers in Culinary Arts. Individual sample sizes of apple cranberry crisp with whipped cream and fresh squeezed lemonade were all created by hand in the lab and enjoyed by all.
