Jr. DEEP Saturdays is a dynamic crash course program designed to spark young minds' curiosity in the captivating worlds of science, technology, and engineering. Tailored specifically for the fall season, this program aims to offer an immersive and interactive learning experience for students in grades 3 through 8. Get ready to dive into a realm of hands-on workshops, engaging activities, and unforgettable discoveries that will shape your understanding of these fields in remarkable ways. Round 1 of this program spans across three Saturdays: October 26, 2024, November 2, 2024, and November 9, 2024. Each Saturday, participants will engage in a hands-on workshop scaled and tailored to their respective grade level. Workshop themes: Intergalactic Biome: In this workshop, students will have the chance to design and build their own biodome, which is a controlled environment meant to support life on another planet. This activity involves learning about ecosystems, sustainable environments, and the challenges of creating habitats suitable for life in outer space. Illuminate & Innovate: During this workshop, students will construct their very own slide projector. This activity involves exploring optics, light projection, and basic physics principles related to how light travels and interacts with surfaces. By building a slide projector, students can gain a deeper understanding of light and its properties. Light it Up! In this workshop, students will create an electric circuit that lights up when stepped on. This activity combines engineering and interactive design, allowing students to learn about circuits, conductivity, and basic electronics principles. Building a circuit that responds to movement adds an element of fun and creativity to the learning process.
