Sandcastle Building - Andy Hancock

Andy Hancock teaches science-based sandcastle building as a family STEM experience on South Padre Island, Texas.

This channel shows a verified, step-by-step system for building strong, stable sandcastles using applied science. You’ll learn how sand behaves under forming, compaction, gravity, vibration, and professional tool use—so families of all ages can succeed on any beach.

Sandcastle Lessons turns a day at the beach into hands-on STEM learning. Videos include full how-to lessons, tool demonstrations, sand testing, and real builds taught directly on the beach.

🏖️ Middle School Beach Science Adventure
A Hands-On STEM Field Trip at South Padre Island

Discover the Science of Sandcastles!
Join us for an unforgettable day where middle school students will explore STEM at the beach—learning how sand, water, and science combine to create the strongest sandcastles in the world.

What Students Will Do:

🔬 Experiment with Sand & Water – Learn about geology, soil mechanics, and compaction.

🏗️ Build Like Engineers – Use proven techniques to design pyramid-shaped sand blocks for strength.

🌊 Work with Gravity – Understand applied science by carving from the top down.

🎨 Shape & Design – Use real tools (not just fingers) to create amazing details like a pro.

Why It’s Special:

✔ Based on Andy Hancock’s Proven Sandcastle System
✔ Hands-on STEM learning connected to real science
✔ Safe, educational, and FUN for students and teachers
✔ Direct tie-ins to Science, Engineering, and Art standards

Details:

📍 Location: South Padre Island, Texas
📅 Flexible Dates: Available during the school year
🎒 Who Can Join: Middle School Classes (Grades 6–8)
⏰ Trip Length: Half-day or full-day options available

Book Your Class Now!

Bring your students to the REAL beach for a STEM adventure they’ll never forget.
