Make it Move

A student constructs an invention during the Make It Move workshop

Grades 1-2

Overview

Students engage in problem solving as they make inventions using simple hydraulic systems. They think like engineers as they design, build, test, and redesign their models. Open-ended investigations with specialized materials and tools focus students on cause and effect relationships and inspire them to create innovative solutions.
