S.T.E.A.M. Adventure: Grades 4–6
Week 2: June 22 – June 26 | 9 AM – 2 PM
Ancient Greece: The Antikythera Malfunction
The Crisis: The world’s first analog computer has been dismantled! Without the Greek mastery of gears and celestial mechanics, navigation and time-telling will remain in the dark ages.
The Fix:
Science & Engineering: Dive into rotational motion and torque by building complex "Automata" (mechanical puppets) and gear-driven calendars. Study displacement and buoyancy by recreating "Archimedes’ Screw" to move water against gravity.
Art: Master sculptural anatomy by studying the "Contrapposto" stance, using wire and plaster to create statues with realistic weight distribution. Explore architectural perspective by designing temples that account for "entasis"—the optical illusion of curved columns.
Math & Literacy: Use Protractor Geometry to calculate the degrees of planetary movement. Write philosophical "Dialogues" or logic puzzles in the style of Socrates to troubleshoot the machine's errors.
Mission Goal: Synchronize the gears of the past using mechanical physics and astronomical math!
