If attending this session, be prepared to be dropped into the ancient desert of Jordan, the rainforest of Peru, and along the Nile river. All you have available to ensure your survival are simple machines and your own engineering mindset.

In order to understand how simple machines make work easier, we will be using Lego BricQ sets to build and test simple machines to advance our civilization.
