Franklin - Amusement Park Robotics Engineering Class | Ages 8-13

Please register with Williamson County Parks and Rec here.

What's just as fun as riding amusement park rides? Building and playing with mini-models of those rides! In these weekly classes, we'll be teaching robotics concepts while building our own models of amusement park rides. Students will be building their own versions of bumper cars, Ferris wheels, go-karts and roller coasters. We'll be building a different ride each week while teaching campers about gears, axles, switches, dc motors,  LEDs, mainboards, wired controllers and more. Some 'rides' will be completed by one camper while others will require a team effort where all the campers come together to make the 'ride' extra thrilling!

As with all of our classes, we'll be encouraging the amusement park designers (along with some help from our master engineers) to customize and improve upon the original designs.
