Robotics
Brain-Computer Interaction
As scientists and researchers continue to reveal the mysteries of the brain, their progress has opened the door to the exciting new field of Brain-Computer Interaction technologies (BCIs). In a BCI, brain activity is recorded in real-time and rapidly translated to provide new information and new functionality to its user. To date, applications of BCIs can be found in prosthetics, rehabilitation and therapy, occupational safety, and even in gaming and entertainment; however, this is only the tip of the iceberg as new applications are constantly being investigated and developed. While the future of BCIs looks bright, many challenges still face emerging BCI technologies. These include improving the technologies used to record brain signals as well as improving the ways those signals are analyzed and interpreted. Finding solutions to these puzzles is a primary focus of this field and the keys to translating a century of neuroscience research into new tools and technologies that improve everyday life. In this week-long session, we will discuss the current state of the art and future potential for neurotechnologies and BCI. We will also introduce students to basic electroencephalography (EEG).

Grades 6 and up.
Electronic Lab Workshop- 30 Electronic Gadgets
30 different projects and experiments are built with your own electronic kit to keep in this hands-on workshop. The Science Electronics Lab will stimulate kids’ minds by using easy to understand experiments to increase their knowledge of electronics. Science project ideas will come alive as they build the 30 projects while working with Electronic Circuits. The electronics kit is reusable. Have fun designing your own projects once you’ve built all 30. Kids can proceed at their own pace. Each participant will keep: an 80 page manual, 1 solderless circuit board, 12 resistors, 2 capacitors, 2 light-emitting diodes, 2 transistors, 1 battery snap, 1 diode, 1 speaker, 1 timer, 1 photocell, 1 rectifier, 1 potentiometer, and 1 switch. Learn the ins and outs of how they work. Kids will be grouped by age. Ages 7 - 12

Ages 7-12.
Hyper Peppy Rockit Robotics
Build and take home your own Hyper Peppy Robot. It's sound activated. Use the clap of your hands to get it moving. It has a very sensitive touch/sound sensor. When it comes in contact with an object it will automatically go into reverse, and then turn left before embarking on a new course. It’s fast!!! You're able to adjust it's sensitivity to sound.You will see, first-hand, the many gears, circuit board, microphone, and it's easy to assemble mechanical drive system. The completed project will help build self-confidence.You will also get to build other robots as a part of a small group. Be a part of robotic technology and have fun investigating the future effects it will have on our lives.

Ages 7-12.
Magnetic Levitation for Future Transportation
Magnetic Levitation for Future Transportation - Build your own “futuristic Maglev” car to race and take home. In 1999 a Japanese five-car maglev train set a record of 345 miles/hour. Yours won’t go that fast, but we will have fun building it and learning how it operates. Learn about the relationship between magnetism and electricity. You will also get to build a simple maglev track as well as a cool electromagnet. Learn how motors work, as well as generators. Build and take home the world’s simplest motor. Make your own compass and take part in many other magnificent magnetic activities! Yes, Sciensational Workshops again starts with the Maglev car (magnetism - electricity - levitation) and goes in all directions to have fun and learn while doing hands-on activities. Ages 7 - 12

Model Airplanes- Bridge Buidling- Electronic Gadgets
Build your own rubber-powered model airplane. Use your model as a learning tool in aerospace education, or just have fun building a sound airplane that actually flies when assembled. Have fun designing and building model bridges. Join us in our bridge building contest to see which one can hold the most weight. Learn simple engineering skills. Build 6 electronic projects. Some of them include a patrol car siren, burglar alarm and morse code transmitter. You will learn how the different electronic components work. Bring a little imagination and get ready to “Fly with Sciensational Workshops.” Ages 7 - 12
