Physics Engineering Challenge Team

Every week teams face a new engineering challenge that puts physics into action. They design and build bridges, catapults and ramps using simple household materials.

Teams test their designs, measure results and improve them, learning about forces, energy and motion. The final week brings a team challenge where everything learned comes together.

How classes work

Each week starts with a short live demo of the new idea, followed by guided practice while the teacher checks in with every learner. Classes end with a small challenge to try before next time.

What we'll cover

• Week 1: Bridges – Build a paper bridge and test how much weight it holds.

• Week 2: Catapults – Build a catapult and explore energy and angles.

• Week 3: Ramps – Test how ramp height affects speed and distance.

• Week 4: Final Challenge – Solve a team engineering challenge and present it.

No experience needed. Learners need a device with a camera and microphone for live classes.
