Review for Rock-It Science Educationally Useful Programs, Santa Clara, CA, USA
Rock-it Science provides wonderful hands-on experiences with science to children 5-16 years old. Rock-it Science uses wacky story situations that feature a physics challenge to engage the students, and then they do two or three experiments to figure out ways to solve the challenge. The students make flaming wax creatures, sparking buzzing things, scary medieval catapults, strange roller coasters, and more! Rock-it Science provides summer camps, after school classes, field trips, and homeschool classes. The founder, Mr. Mac, can usually be found leading classes. He's a former robotics engineer with an uncanny ability to make difficult scientific concepts easy for children to understand. And now, Mr. Mac has put some of experiments on video, available on Amazon, to reach a wider audience.
