Arlington Community Education

Let your imagination run wild. Build projects such as trains, helicopters, and treehouses with thousands of LEGO. From building robots and engineering structures to creating simple machines and conducting experiments, this class will inspire you to look at LEGOs in a whole different way.

How did you do that?! Explore fascinating science “magic” as we make water disappear, grow glowing cubes, and reveal beasts that expand to 800 times their size. Create shimmering crystals that grow on a piece of paper. Watch colors change before your eyes and make objects move using the power of science. 

Explore the world of scientific discovery as you create a lava lamp, engineer a race car, or make a ping pong ball hang in the air. You may stir up invisible ink, create a volcanic eruption, or build a Newton’s Cradle. We’ll discuss the development and application of various scientific principles and build our science vocabulary using illustrations and handouts that you can use to recreate your experiments at home.
