Our budding artists will be inspired by artists like Alexander Calder, Yahoi Kusama, Peter Carl Fabergé, Auguste Rodin, Dale Chihuly and Antoni Gaudí as they create their own 3D art. Projects include creating cardboard sculptures, dolls, papier marche eggs, clay heads, water bottle sculptures and bean mosaics. When and Where This Class is Offered: Week [...]
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 [...]
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
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 [...]
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 1 - June 23-27, 2025 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, [...]
Does your child have a great idea for a comic book or love anime? Students will learn to tell a short story through sequential art by creating a story line, brainstorming to create characters, and write a plot with dialogue. They will learn digital cartooning using Pixton. Students collaborate on a comic anthology that they [...]
