Coding is becoming one of the most useful skills out there and anyone can pick
Coding - Scratch
it up. Children are being exposed to its wonders at early ages. Through the use
of Scratch's block coding language, campers will have the opportunity to learn
basic fundamentals of code and create their very own fun and interactive
games!
What is a circuit? How do they work? This week, we'll learn how to put circuits
Electronics -
together to accomplish introductory tasks as well as learn about the individual
Raspberry Pi/Arduino components in a circuit. Lastly, we'll spend time working with some basic coding
that will allow us to control the circuits through dynamically altering input
voltages.
Campers will craft circuits out of every day materials and explore the world of
Electronics - SMART
electronics through a progression of projects and exciting activities! These take
Circuits
home projects will teach not only what electricity is, but how it works.
Would you like to build a castle and then tear it down with siege weapons?
Engineering - Ancient
Come design, build, and test out your model windmills, ships and chariot! We
Technologies
will analyze how these ancient technology can still be observed in modern times.
Campers will put their imagination, ingenuity, and general knowledge to the
Engineering - City of
test. City of the Future is a week-long exercise in solving problems that many
the Future
cities will face in the near-future. Students will work in teams to create solutions
to the challenges they are tasked with. Using a variety of skills, our future
engineers will complete a diorama of what they envision the future to behold.
Its time to put on your Captains hat for one of the most exciting weeks to come,
Engineering - Drone
Drone Engineering! Campers will not only engineer their own quadcopters, but
Crafting also learn what it takes to be a true aviator! How do aircraft navigate the vast
and mysterious skies? How is something so heavy able to stay in the air for so
long? What is the difference between a UAV & Drone? Find out the answers to
these questions and so much more!
The sky is not the limit, it's only the beginning! Campers will explore everything
Engineering - Flight
from the origins of flight, navigation and the future of science in aviation. Come
Science build and fly model planes, while learning the forces involved with keeping an
airplane in the sky.
