2026 Jewels Goes Rural!
June 25
Free

Get ready to launch into a day of engineering and high-flying fun! Jewels Academy is bringing our Rural Program to the Newton and Albion this summer, and we’re taking aim at the laws of physics.
Students will step into the shoes of mechanical engineers to design, build, and test their very own catapults. We’ll explore the “how” behind the “wow”—learning how potential energy turns into kinetic energy to send projectiles soaring. It’s hands-on STEM that’s heavy on the fun and even heavier on the flying objects!
