Info on Lego Class: What is physics and how can it help you build bigger and better LEGO machines? Discover the workings of simple machines like levers, pulleys and gears. Construct a bridge and other devices using gears and cams to add movement. Build your own movable objects to learn about structural design, mechanical engineering and physics.

Info on Saturday Academy: Saturday Academy strives to engage all motivated young people, including those from under-represented communities, in hands-on, in-depth learning by connecting them to community experts as educators and mentors. Our vision is that all interested, pre-college students in our region will have the opportunity to interact with community experts and experience professional environments in ways that assist them in developing intellectually and preparing for rewarding careers. Saturday Academy’s innovative programs are open to all students in grades 2 through 12. We value all learning, and offer experiences in many disciplines. We emphasize science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), because these fields are critical for children’s careers and their fast pace of change is difficult to address in traditional school settings. Saturday Academy was founded in 1983, and became an independent 501c3 nonprofit in 2006. Saturday Academy has provided instruction to more than 170,000 students throughout Oregon and SW Washington.
