Children go on a quest to play a series of fun and exciting games that require them to use their imagination and thinking skills. They will learn to blend both their cooperation and leadership abilities in order to finish the game. Some of the games include giant mazes with each child taking turns leading the ball thru the labyrinth, others require the group to build large structures using giant legos or foam blocks and then performing activities that include their use. In yet another game, the children will construct a large integrated walkway and then navigate it as a group without touching each other. It is fun yet challenging to do. While they think they are just having fun, the reality is that they are developing leadership and socialization skills that will last a lifetime. Facilitated by Team Makers
Whether you enjoy building or destroying structures, you’ll love this camp! Work with pulleys, wedges, screws, and levers, build your own catapults and play robot soccer! Exercise your ability to work with others while constructing a geodesic dome big enough for all campers to fit inside! Let the engineering excitement begin!
People have been playing with chemistry for thousands of years, by stirring things together and boiling concoctions. Students will walk the path of early chemists by making perfumes, soap, chemical batteries and synthetic dyes. Students in this class will also conduct experiments to see evaporation, carbonation and oxidation in action. When and Where This Class [...]
In Coding Dash & Sphero, kids become robot programmers using easy, visual coding apps to control two amazing robots. With Dash, students can program the robot to drive, spin, light up, play sounds, respond to voices, and navigate obstacle courses they help design. They’ll create sequences and simple loops to make Dash dance, race, tell [...]
This class can be taken more than once. Students build different robot models and learn different math skills each week. Lego WeDo Robotics - Using the LEGO® Education WeDo™ Robotics Construction Set, the students are introduced to simple robotics through building models, attaching sensors and motors, and using a computer to program the model’s behavior. [...]
Scratch Jr is an introductory programming language that enables youngsters to create their own interactive stories and games. Children snap together graphical programming blocks to make characters move, jump, dance, and sing. Children can modify characters in the paint editor, add their own voices and sounds, even insert photos of themselves — then use the [...]
This class can be taken more than once. There are different themes every week. Yoga – Students will learn various yoga poses taking cues from animals and nature. They will roar, stretch and learn the tools to relax and strengthen their bodies. Country Adventure – Each week, students embark on an imaginary adventure to a [...]
Using the LEGO® Education WeDo™ Robotics Construction Set, the students are introduced to simple robotics through building models, attaching sensors and motors, and using a computer to program the model’s behavior. Students will also learn about simple engineering concepts such as pulleys, belts, gears and levels, while having a blast with their creations. When and [...]
