Week 3: Under the Sea

Campers will explore sea creatures, plant life, and other animals that dwell in or near the ocean.  They’ll have the opportunity to explore the texture of sand and sea shells and create art using materials from the sea.

 

Week 4: Drama King/Queen

Campers will be using their imaginations, creativity, and cooperative skills to write a play!  They will also be performing it for the school!

Preschool/Pre-K STEM Camp

 

Week 3: I Wanna Be…A Marine Biologist!

From coral reefs to sharks that “sleep,” campers explore the unique, the strange, and the perplexing features of underwater life. Exciting projects include turtle shell backpacks and octopus sock puppets (socktopus!).

 

Week 5: I Wanna Be…A Sports Scientist!

Campers will discover the scientific explanations behind athleticism and develop an appreciation for the science of sports. Projects range from determining the optimal ball trajectory to score a field goal in football to making a Q-Tip Skeleton.

 

Week 8: I Wanna Be…An Archeologist!

Students learn about archaeological tools and identify optimal locations for digs. From artifacts left on land to historical treasures buried at sea, our mini-Archaeologists learn the hidden science behind this intriguing career.

 

Week 10: I Wanna Be…A Techie!

Topics include coding, robotics, and electronics. Students study the anatomy of computers, code a caterpillar (yes!), and look into the future of technology. Projects include programming PCs using ScratchJr and building simple circuits.

 

Elementary STEM Camp

 

Week 2: Biorobotics

This camp focuses on the hardware and coding that’s required to create machines that model living and breathing beings. Projects include mechanized contraptions ranging from robotic hands to real programmable robots using LEGO WeDo!

 

Week 4: Freaky Forces and Elusive Energies

From the magic of magnetism to the science of sound, campers explore a world filled with energies and forces! Projects such as lava lamps, clay boats, and catapults allow children to touch, feel, and see concepts that are the building blocks of physics.

 

Week 7: Coding and Gaming

Using MIT’s Scratch computer language, campers learn how to program their very own unique games and animations. Projects include a computer program uploaded to MIT’s website and an original board game.

 

Week 9: Engineering A Metropolis
