Brief Description:
After school clubs get students thinking about science and using their problem solving skills. A variety of topics are available.
Flight Sight™
Flying takes on different perspectives as you explore flight from different altitudes. Experience flight from the view of a bird's eye, a glider, a jet, and a spaceship window. As the days progress, see how the inventions of flight changed our viewpoints of the world.

Intent to Invent™
You are transported into Olnem Park, a research and development complex that includes a restaurant, a RoboLab, and two other laboratories. Here you encounter and solve challenges as you enter different areas of the park. In the laboratory, you take apart broken machinery and use these parts to create a fantasy invention that solves a problem.

Medieval Marvels™
Medieval Marvels weaves medieval history, basic scientific principles, and hands-on creativity through the challenges of each day. Assuming the roles of lords, knights, craftspeople, and serfs you will work in cooperative groups to complete each task. Each activity is linked to either the Middle Age lifestyle or a scientific principle that was known to medieval cultures. You will create your own invention with the knowledge gained from the scientific experiments.

Phys. Ed: Physics in Motion™
You are introduced to scientists who helped answer questions about how and why objects move the way they do through a series of fast-paced, innovative games. After exploring the laws of gravity, energy, motion, and magnetism, you will use that knowledge to design original games to challenge fellow students.

Solve It! The Mystery of the Missing Machine™
Congratulations! You have become a member of the first graduating class of Detective School. You may now participate in a detective simulation that revolves around a missing family of mice and their top-secret food-processing machine. Creative problem solving and intuitive thinking skills will help you solve the mystery.

VisualEyez™
As members of the incoming class at Perception University, you will use art and science to explore and explain the wonders of sight and optical illusions. After a brief introduction to eye anatomy and discussion of how the eye works, a variety of hands-on activitiesintroduce concepts such as persistence of vision, depth perception, and 3D. Upon "graduation" from Perception University, each graduate receives a U.D. (Unreal Degree) in Eye Science, with a minor in optical illusion.
