Hands-on cool chemistry experiments and having fun investigating the chemistry of materials found in everyday life.

In this session, we will be exploring surveying, a major component of the Engineering Technology program at BSC, with hands on activities and discussion. The goal is to introduce students to the field of surveying and the career opportunities available in it. 

Students will have an opportunity to work with Spheros and Ozobots and learn how to use them to do some basic programming. 

Come test your strength! How balanced are you? How fast can you move? Experiment with different ways to test your abilities, and learn about physical therapy, and what it means to be a physical therapist! 

A fun, hands on chemistry demonstration involving a chemical reaction from the decomposition of concentrated hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

“How Wetlands Work” is a demonstration and discussion of how wetlands positively impact people’s lives every day by preventing flooding, filtering pollutants, protecting clean drinking water, and recharging groundwater. Also discussed is the importance of wetlands as habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife. 

Students will use simple lathes and mills to produce a keychain.

Build the tallest tower with the smallest footprint with 10 sheets of paper and a roll of masking tape.  The width-to-height ration of each tower will be calculated to determine which tower is more slender. 

In this session, you will get to design and make all sorts of creative projects using a micro:bit. You’ll create games that you can play with friends and you’ll even get to make an intelligent virtual pet (Tamogotchi). The fun won’t stop here – you’ll get to keep your micro:bit so that you can continue building projects on your own.

WKHTXLFNEURZQIRAMXPSVRYHUDODCBGRJ.  Can you break the code?  Stop in to learn some cryptologic techniques to encode and decode messages.

In this activity, youth will use the Engineering Design Process to design, build, and operate a robotic claw. Working together, the group will create a model of a hydraulic-powered robotic arm and claw and test it by completing an agricultural task. Ultimately, the mechanical claw should be able to perform a simple grasping, scooping, or raking action to cultivate crops on another world.

The formula is: Resistor + Switch + LED + Potentiometer + Breadboard and your talent equals a night light for you to build.

Students will learn about animals that are found in ND along with handling the animal’s fur.  Students will also cast molds of animal tracks and they will be able to take the tracks home.

Review how water is treated and distributed through a city so it can be ready when you turn on the faucet. We will also build your own water filter using everyday items
you can find at home.
