Snapology Planes, Trains & Automobiles: Steam Trains Workshop

In this exciting hands-on workshop, students will explore the fascinating world of steam-powered locomotives. Using LEGO® bricks, children will build their own models of steam engines while learning how these machines worked and why they were so important in shaping transportation history. Students will also discover how modern electric trains have evolved from early steam technology.

Throughout the workshop, children will:
• Explore Physics Concepts – Learn about energy, wheels and axles, and simple machines, in an accessible way as they design and test their builds.
• Strengthen Presentation Skills – Share their creations with peers in a supportive, low-pressure environment that builds confidence and communication skills.
• Practice Teamwork – Collaborate with partners and small groups, plan builds together, and learn to listen respectfully and contribute ideas just like real engineers.
This workshop is perfect for young builders who love vehicles, engineering, and discovering how things move!

Snapology is the premier partner for STEAM programs worldwide. The organization’s goal is to provide children’s enrichment with STEAM learning programs that engage kids 4-14 years old with fun, hands-on activities to teach science, technology, engineering, art and math. While children are exploring robotics, coding and design challenges using LEGO® bricks, K’Nex, and technology, they’re building skills that will help them throughout school and their careers. To kids, it’s just fun! 

Fivesparks is partnering with Snapology of Harvard, MA to bring these fun and educational programs to our community!
