Do you ever wonder how gadgets work? Students will be engineering and programming their own electronic circuits, motors, sensors and controllers to do a range of tasks using the Arduino™ electronics platform. They will use the engineering design process (i.e. create, test, improve) to break down a problem, design a solution and build it! When [...]
Engineering of Ice Cream – Food Science, Ages 8-11
0 Available seats
Students are introduced the engineering design process to solve a team-based challenges. Ever wonder how ice cream gets to be so creamy and delicious? They will explore the process of making ice cream, developing new ice cream flavors and improving the packaging for ice cream, all from an engineer’s perspective towards problem-solving. When and Where [...]
Explore all of the cells, organs, muscles, and bones that make up YOU! Put yourself together from the inside out, while learning about all the systems that make your body tick! Get microscopic while making a model cell, create a stethoscope to hear your heartbeat, and inflate model lungs that work just like yours! Get a little sticky while making “Mad Mucus” and a mashed potato brain!
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!
Is everything kids see online, on TV, or hear from friends actually true? In Myth-Busting Science, young scientists investigate popular myths and surprising claims using hands-on experiments, teamwork, and real scientific thinking. Each day, students make predictions, test ideas, and uncover what’s really going on—through launching balloon rockets, making slime, testing floating and sinking, and even designing their own experiments. This class is fast-paced, interactive, and packed with “aha!” moments that make science exciting, memorable, and fun.
From our Earth's atmosphere to the outer reaches of our solar system, this hands-on program for children sends them on a quest for exploration! Comets, planets, stars and more are all waiting to be discovered. Learn about the four forces of flight, the challenges of space travel, and even participate in a rocket launch! When [...]
Science for Future Physicians is a hands-on, interactive course designed especially for curious students ages 11–14 who want to explore the fascinating world of medicine. Students step into the role of young medical interns as they investigate how the human body works, what happens when we get sick, and how doctors use science, data, and problem-solving to keep people healthy. Through experiments, simulations, and medical mystery challenges, students build real scientific thinking skills while discovering that the human body is one of the most complex—and amazing—systems there is.
In Shockingly Sticky Science, students will learn Watts-Up with electricity and build their own static tubes, learn the marvels of magnets as they construct their own Magnet Maze, and get sticky with polymers (a.k.a. slime)! We will create our own soda pop and as a grand finale students will learn all about heat and get [...]
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 [...]
