District 196 Community Education

Combine engineering and alternative energy (solar, hydro, and wind)! Build cars, cranes, drawbridges, etc. from LEGO® kits and operate them using alternative energy sources. Work in teams and experiment with wind, water and solar panels, resulting in a high-powered, high-energy course! Projects include waterwheel, windmill, Ferris wheel, and solar car. Achieve an understanding of how energy is developed from the sun, wind and water. Use the concepts you learned to design and create a test car to compete against your classmates.
