CREATIVE ENGINEERING: BRING YOUR CREATIVE IDEAS TO LIFE WITH SCIENCE & ENGINEERING
Learn everything you need to build your own creative inventions like Mark Rober. In this class, Mark Rober takes you into his studio and teaches you his complete engineering process — the same process he’s used at NASA, at Apple, and to make his YouTube videos. Follow along as he brainstorms, designs, and builds 3 brand new inventions from start to finish, right in front of you, explaining all the engineering and science along the way.
TAUGHT BY
Former NASA engineer & YouTuber with 23 million subscribers and over 3 billion views on his creative engineering videos. The #1 STEM educator in the world.
CLASS OVERVIEW
Learn Mark Rober’s complete engineering process
While many know Mark Rober as the wildly popular YouTuber and the world’s #1 STEM educator, Mark spent the first decade of his career as an engineer at NASA working on the Mars Curiosity Rover and at Apple working on advanced technologies like VR and self-driving cars. With this expertise, combined with his unmatched creativity, Mark has dreamt up and built some of the world’s most creative inventions. He’s built an Automatic Bullseye Dartboard, a Rocket Powered Golf Club, the World’s Largest Super Soaker, a Glitter Bomb Package to stop porch pirates, a Playing Card Machine Gun, an Automatic Strike Bowling Ball, a Ninja Squirrel Obstacle Course, and a whole lot more. For the past 12 years, Mark has shared these creative engineering projects to YouTube, now to over 23 million subscribers and over 3 billion views, helping millions of people around the world discover the power of science and engineering. In this class, Mark Rober teaches you everything he knows, so you too can use science and engineering to bring your own creative ideas to life. During class, Mark brings you into his studio and shares with you his entire creative engineering process from start to finish. Follow along with Mark as he brainstorms, designs, and builds three brand new creative inventions completely from scratch, starting from how he finds his viral build ideas, all the way through bringing the final builds to life. For the first build of class, Mark introduces his proven, step-by-step engineering design process – Brainstorm, Research, Prototype, Final Build — and teaches each step in detail. This first build focuses on mechanical engineering and is related in some way to the category of food. Follow along with Mark to create your own food-related build, whether that’s a machine that cooks you breakfast at push of a button, a device to more quickly cut your vegetables; or anything else you can dream up! For the second build of class, Mark dives deep into electrical engineering, including how to use an Arduino microcontroller. You’ll learn how to build electrical circuits, utilize sensors, and control effectors to create your own electronics. Even if you don’t have any experience with electronics or coding, you’ll be able to follow along and create your own electronic inventions. This time, builds will be within the category of art. For the third build of class, Mark teaches his most advanced engineering methods, including Raspberry Pi, custom printed circuit boards, 3D design in CAD, 3D printing, thermal engineering, and much more. Using these tools, Mark creates a build in the category of habits. You can follow along to build something that enforces a good habit or helps you break a bad habit. Along the way, Mark explains everything that he’s doing and thinking in detail — every idea, decision, tool, and technique. There’s no where else you can get this level of intimate access to Mark Rober’s brain and process. By the end of the class, you’ll know everything you need to bring your own creative inventions to life. You’ll develop a complete engineering toolkit that you can use for the rest of your life.
