Camp programs
All our camp programs are designed to engage our students' minds and bodies. Each day of camp will include time for instruction where students learn and practice the concepts being taught in each course, as well as active/outdoor time where they will engage in team building and recreational activities.The theme for this summer is 'CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY', and we will be offering weekly camp programs in Robotics and Creative computing, and Science Explorations for participant ages 8 to 16 (see the program descriptions below for more details). As most of our course curriculla involve collaborative work, the team building activities are an integral part of the learning and discovery process.
Mobile robotics systems with VEX IQ robotics (Ages 10-16 )
July 24th - July 28th 2017
July 31st - August 4th 2017
August 7th - 11th 2017

Campers will work in teams of 3 or 4 and spend time discovering and exploring the world of robotics using the VEX IQ robotics platform.
-
Campers will learn how to build and program user driven and autonomous robots.
-
Each camper in the team will be assigned a role for each day of camp (project manager, software engineer etc) that allows each camper to understand the engineering and design process.
-
Campers will work towards a project in which the final product will be presented on the last day of camp.

Science Explorations Lab (Ages 8-10)
July 24th - July 28th 2017
-
In this program, your child will learn how things work through fun, hands-on experiments.
-
Each week we will explore different concepts in areas such as Physics, Genomics, Energy, Chemistry, etc) and complete related experiments.
-
Campers will get daily handouts which they can take home reinforcing what was learned during the day and sometimes extending the experiments with their parents at home.
-
At the end of each week campers participate in a science fair in which they showcase one of their favorite experiments/projects they worked on during the week.
