Summer Camps
Camp Dates: Coming July and August 2024
Ages 9-14 | 9 AM - NOON | Day 1
Geek out as we explore how to use computers, and how computers work for you. Check out our new and old machines and see which ones you like best. We will introduce you to drawing things with a doodle bot, to line following by color coding with an Ozobot. Then unleash your inter engineer with a take- apart- session.
3D PRINTING, CODING, & DESIGN WITH BLOCKSCAD
Ages 9-14 | 9 AM - NOON | Day 2
No CAD (computer-aided-design) experience? No problem! BlocksCAD is a graphical, engaging, and effective way to CAD, where the outcome is improved math & computer science skills. We will cover the use of the BlocksCAD program and students will then create printable designs that demonstrate the concepts that they’ve learned; our instructor will print these projects outside of class for a safe pickup.
Ages 9-14 | 9 AM - NOON | Day 3
Want to know how to solder electronics? We will use the latest tools: Arduino (for building interactive devices) and Raspberry Pi (for learning about computers and coding) to design hands-on projects ranging from LED light shows to small robots with microprocessors, all in the name of taking ideas and making them real. Participants have access to a comprehensive library of parts and equipment, and experienced instructors who can help them create the devices of their dreams.
GAME ON
Ages 9-14 | 9 AM - NOON | Day 4
Coders will have fun learning, exploring and building games just like they do in the Science Olympiad. Teams will work collaboratively on achieving set objectives within scratch basics review and continued by building games such as mad libs, high seas, fortune teller as examples, Learn about loops, strings, conditions and other topics including flow charting on paper and story development in groups.
Plenty of time for open play will be included!
Show and Tell WrapUp
Ages 9-14 | 9 AM - NOON | Day 5
After a week of gaining skills learning to identify, measure, and apply the scientific method to problems students will present their projects to parents and peers. Students can collaborate with peers to create and produce experiences that can be shared with classmates, parents and the public, as they bring their ideas to life.
