STEM In Motion Program Schedule: Aug. 21-Oct. 9 This class will meet weekly on Fridays from 1-2 p.m. Recommended Ages: 5th-12th grades This class is limited to six students Cost: $135 (Members), $150 (Nonmembers) Design it, build it and watch it move! STEM in Motion is a hands-on workshop where students dive into the science of “things that move” by building and testing models that bring physics to life. Using LEGO pieces, they’ll design racing sail cars, propeller-driven vehicles and balancing gymnasts. They’ll also explore collisions, slopes and other challenges that highlight the forces shaping our world. With gears, weights, springs and more, students experiment to see how force, motion and interactions really work. Along the way, participants will discover how push and pull forces, gravity and momentum shape the world around them, all while developing teamwork, critical thinking and confidence. Meet the program instructor: Jess Newsom Ms. Jess founded Inventors Lab to share her love and passion for working with students of all ages and backgrounds to develop their skills in STEM-related topics. Jess graduated with her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Cal Poly Pomona where she also was actively involved in creating interactive labs in virtual reality (VR) for the biology department, competing with the Human-Powered Vehicle project team and hosting workshops on how to create aquaponics systems. She has spent the last nine years teaching K-12 robotics while running a center in California, and she has coached VEX Robotics competition teams at the middle school and high school levels. Outside of STEM-related activities, she spends her time in her workshop creating art, developing her own video games, crocheting cute animals, knitting garments and reading. Jess is passionate about sharing her knowledge with others and inspiring them to be creative and tackle cool projects.
