7th & 8th Grade Programs

Carve out time this summer to explore the mechanics of skating. Using skateboarding as the springboard, put your “goofy-foot” forward as you dissect ollies, vert skating and all the other physics of phun on wheels. Engineering will be highlighted when participants build and design their own skateboard that will be theirs to keep.

This class highlights the science of skating and not how to perform tricks. Each participant is required to provide their own safety equipment including helmet, wrist guards, elbow and knee pads.
