Build a water pump that honors Indian Educator, Arvind Gupta’s design. Learn how to engineer the optimal angles and speed to help this work at its best. Connect motion and transfer of energy to help you create a water pump that fans out water. Always fun on a hot day!

Weather affects everything we do. Build a weather person with a wind vane at its back. When the wind turns it on its spinning base, look at the compass you've embedded and know which direction the wind is coming from. Learn to look at clouds and cloud patterns. What do they mean?

The Whitney Relay is a set of interconnectable parts that lets students master the art and science of energy transfer in the tradition of the Rube Goldberg Machine or its contemporary Japanese masterpiece: the Pythagoras Switch. Each student receives ramps,  marbles, blocks, and assorted parts to construct a chain reaction that could include your whole class. Thoughtful lessons in mechanics, invention and teamwork.

Each student constructs half inch scale figures and a traditional dwelling of northeastern indigenous peoples. We refer to the Quinnipiac who once lived in the regness once applied to barks, skins, and shells, students create a diorama of Indigenous Native American life in the past.ion around the museum. Adapting contemporary materials with the resourceful.
