Junior Camp (Ages 5 - 7)
-. AM Power & Energ - Making Toys: We look at ways to get things moving. In this camp, students explore the fundamental concepts of potential and kinetic energy by building their very own toys. Additionally, students will explore natural power and energy sources such as falling water and the sun. Get ready for a shock in this energetic and engaging engineering experience
- PM Jr. Lego Motorized Machines: Simple & Powered Machines, students begin investigating and gaining a fundamental understanding of simple machines, structures, and mechanisms.
Apprentice Camp (Ages 8 - 14)
- AM 3-D Printing-Super Heros: 3D printers are one of the most widely applicable and fun inventions on the tech scene today! In 3D Printing: Superheroes To The Rescue, we will explore the basic concepts of 3D printing and computer-aided design, or CAD, to design and create our very own 3D printed superhero! Students will take their hand drawn design and learn how to extrude it into a 3D model that can then be modified to be printed in: 3D
- PM Hardware Engineering- What's in the Box: In this students take on the role of a hardware engineer, a professional who uses science, math and technology to create products related to computer hardware. More specifically, this unit will have students creating video game controllers. Students will be introduced to concepts such as electrical circuits, ergonomics and computer interfaces. What’s in the box? Our engineers will learn electronics and programming the fun way while building their own computer!. We walk teams through creating circuits and interacting with them. As your team assemble the customizable box, you can play Minecraft on an accompanying screen.
