The past few days of Week 3 have been very hot and humid, but Short Hills’ campers finally get to enjoy the outdoors during Tropical Day! In addition to the normal outdoor activities like soccer and the playground, campers and counselors alike took part in the tropical-themed activity of the day: the Limbo! There were […]

At Short Hills, everybody was excited to be back at International Ivy! On Wednesday, the students in Electrical Engineering with Arduino started to decide on a project to show what they had learned. Over break, they discussed their ideas with the teacher, and the class opted to build a plane that could propel itself with […]

Good morning Ivy Campers & Parents, today is the last day of summer camp. Summer 2023 was another year in the books at Short Hills. Huge thank you to all of the campers and parents for joining the Ivy program. Super special shoutout to all the counselors and teachers on the Short Hills Staff team […]

The Youngsters: We Do Robotics did an amazing job with their Lego creation and navigating how to code in order to move their robots around. Below is a picture of the camper proudly displaying his robots. The campers created a rocket ship and had use the coding tools to move their ship around either spinning, […]

This week at Short Hills, aspiring pilots dove into their interest in aeronautical engineering through drone programming. The drone programming course teaches students to program drones and master efficient maneuvering techniques. Student confirming proper drone procedures with manual. When students first opened up their drones, they were excited to get started with flying them around. […]

Today at Short Hills, Engineering Arduino students opened their Arduino kits for the first time. Kids learned to navigate the basic operations of the Arduino boards and the computer functions associated with them. Students aim to build their own unique programs and projects with the kits. Students preparing their boards and programs. Students prepare to […]

The third week of the Short Hills Site is starting strong! The robotics class got straight to work on making their robots, and some finished it in one day. In chemical engineering, the students made balloons inflate with the power of science. They filled bottles with baking soda and put balloon on the rim, and […]

This week in Chatham we have chemical engineering! In chemical engineering, the students combine different materials to create something new!  Today, the students were making bouncy balls! They made these bouncy balls by combining glue, borax, and water. Campers were experimenting on the ratio of their ingredients to see what made their ball the bounciest.  […]
