Youth STEM
The Forest City YMCA is committed to providing the youth of Forest City and the surrounding communities with high quality STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics) programming. We endeavor to give kids opportunities to explore their interests and discover new ones through a robust offering of educational and fun classes, camps, and programs. This includes (but is not limited to) robotics, coding, to-scale bridge and house building, graphic design, living science, 3D design & printing, and so much more!
Stay tuned to our website, Facebook, and Remind (@fcyyouth) to never miss a program.
Bridge Builders Jr.
Bridge Builders Jr is an exciting and fun new program at the Y that will get those creative juices flowing. Participants will act as engineers and learn how bridges are designed to meet load, stress, and aesthetic challenges as they follow the Engineering Design Process to design, build, and test their very own bridge.
- Learn about and work through the Engineering Design Process.
- Design a bridge out of popsicle sticks that will cover a predetermined distance and hold a pre-calculated load.
- Learn how tension and compression forces act on a structure when a load is applied.
- Learn to work as individuals and as a team to accomplish a larger engineering project.
