when dealing with peers, teachers and new acquaintances, the mind shapes the body and
new research now indicates that the body actually controls the mind. Strategies for
improving social skills, confidence, and intra-personal relationships with those in our lives
who contribute to making us feel less than, will enable children to change their mindset,
act courageously, and protect their borders. Personal power is about stripping away fears
and inhibitions that keep children in submissive, powerless roles. Techniques to disable
and discredit the effects of destructive personality types will be discussed and practiced.
Workbook included.

Hovercraft: Design Your Own Vehicle
Ages 6-11
Do you want to design and build things that you create- not just a model you purchase? Well this
is the place for you. Build and keep an air powered Hover Craft. You make it defy gravity. Once
it's up and moving, and then using your creativity, controls its direction. Get to build and take
home your own car. The purpose is to build a super car powered by more than one source of
energy. This can be one crazy looking vehicle. We provide you with many materials for that
dynamic vehicle that you will build. Also get to build an Egg Drop Car. The purpose is to build a
gravity vehicle that can cushion a raw egg as the car holding the egg is dropped from a high
height. We provide you with the material to cushion the fall. You have to be creative. In these
three challenges in one workshop, you will learn about Laws of Motion, Energy, Air Pressure,
Friction, Lift, Speed and Acceleration. It's never too young to learn and have fun in a
Sciensational hands on way.
