Central West -Engineering Challenge – Alien Arrival!
The Engineering Science Quest (ESQ) Team at the University of Waterloo has created a challenge for us! Join their team to create your own mini space lander using materials (such as foam blocks) that will be shipped to you ahead of time.
See below details of the lesson and challenge! Please note the activity will be geared towards 6–12-year-olds, but teens are welcome to join as well.
This event is exclusive to families in the Central West area.
Alien Arrival
Design and build a shock-absorbing lander to protect astronauts during impact on Earth after coming back from their space mission. Participants will learn about shock-absorption and stability during this activity, while also having the freedom to be creative with their lander designs.
