Workshops and Stations

Maker Lab Tours: Take a guided tour of the Bellarmine Maker Lab to learn about current, past, and upcoming student projects!

Wind Turbine Design: Design and build a propeller blade to harness the power of the wind to generate electricity. Test your design to see if you can generate enough electricity to light a small bulb.

Breakout Box Workshop: Put your problem-solving skills to the test in an engineering-themed escape room simulation. Solve puzzles, crack codes, and unlock the breakout box to emerge victorious!

Sumo Robotics Workshop: Participate in a design sprint to build parts for a Sumo Robot and battle it out in our custom arena. Put your engineering and robotics skills to the test and be prepared for battle!

Egg Drop Station Workshop: Put your engineering skills to the test by designing and building a contraption that can protect an egg from a one-story drop. Test your invention and see if your egg survives the fall!

Wind Tunnel Simulation: Simulate a wind tunnel and fly various objects to learn about aerodynamics and the forces of flight. Experience the thrill of seeing objects fly through the air in a controlled, scientific environment!

Jewelry-Making Workshop: Create one-of-a-kind bracelets using specialized tools, wires, and an assortment of beads and ornaments that you can give as gifts to family and friends!
