3D printing is the technology that will change the way we live! Students will learn how to use Tinkercad, a design software used for creating 3D models. Students will learn to design, sculpt, texture, arrange and render their 3D models. Students will be able to move, rotate, scale shapes in 3D and take basic shapes [...]
This class is for students who wonder about being a physician or surgeon. In this class, students will investigate how the body works by participating in hands-on activities, such as dissections and construction of physiological system maps (skeletal, nervous, circulatory, immune). Students will conduct simulated surgeries, perform biopsies, and learn how to suture. Students will [...]
A dynamic, hands-on digital studio experience where kids explore the world of anime and manga while creating original graphic stories using beginner-friendly art software. Through inspiring, age-appropriate viewing examples and interactive lessons, students learn how anime artists use character design, expressive visuals, and cinematic panel layouts to tell powerful stories. Using digital tools to sketch, design, and refine their work, students transform imaginative ideas into anime-inspired graphic narratives—building creativity, confidence, and visual storytelling skills in a fun, collaborative environment.
What is artificial intelligence—and how can kids actually use it? In Artificial Intelligence Tools, students explore eight powerful categories of AI that help people think, create, learn, and communicate. Through hands-on activities, guided exploration, and creative projects, students learn how AI can assist with writing, art, music, studying, presentations, coding, and more—while also learning when not to use it. This class emphasizes curiosity, creativity, and responsibility, helping students become confident, thoughtful AI users in school and beyond.
Campers explore how biomedical engineers use their understanding of human body systems to design solutions to address health problems. The class begins with the story of a boy who applies his understanding of Biomedical Engineering in order to design a temporary knee brace for an injured classmate. Over the course of the class, campers collect [...]
Students will obtain step-by-step instructions to create and customize one painting each day. Students will learn about color theory, brush stroke and paint application. Students will study both old and modern artists, along with different styles and movements throughout the ages. When and Where This Class is Offered: Week 3 - July 6-10, 2026 1:30PM-5:00PM [...]
When plastic items are thrown in the trash, they can quickly pile up in landfills and create a big mess! Students use their chemical engineering skills to explore problems created by traditional plastic materials and engineer bioplastics—plastics made from plant-based materials—as a potential solution to current plastic problems. Students will explore exciting new polymers that [...]
When civil engineers design bridges and buildings, they must take into account factors like balance and motion. This unit introduces the principles behind “push” and “pull” as they explore how forces act on different structures. They’ll use what they know about balance and force as they experiment with beam, arch, and suspension bridges. Students plan, [...]
How do hackers crack passwords, hide secret messages, or trick people online—and how can we stop them? In Cybersecurity & Cryptography, students become ethical cyber-defenders as they explore how data, websites, and computers are protected in the digital world. Through hands-on puzzles, team challenges, and real-world scenarios, students learn how cyberattacks work and how professionals [...]
