Summer Program Description
| 6/21 - 6/25 (Week 1) |
| Morning | Animal Architects:From beavers to birds to bees, there are some animals who amaze us with their ability to build! We'll learn about nature's architects and make some structures ourselves. | LEGO Robotics: Use Lego Technic and the MINDSTORMS programming system to build and program your own robotic inventions! Using motors, sensors and imagination, we'll work on projects like art-bots, maze-runners, creature-bots, robo-soccer, and others! |
| Afternoon | Ancient Art:Ancient people worked hard, but they always found time for art and music. We'll blend science, art and history as we make our own paper and paint, mold clay into bowls, draw with prehistoric tools, make simple musical instruments and other fun projects. |
| 6/28 - 7/2 (Week 2) |
| Morning | Volcanology: August 24th, 79 A.D.: Mount Vesuvius explodes and quickly buries Pompeii and Herculaneum in deep ash. Learn how shifting plates of the Earth's crust can cause explosive eruptions, massive earthquakes, and giant tsunamis. Build your own volcano model and invent your own lava recipe. We'll load up the magma chamber and ERUPT our volcanoes! Watch out, unsuspecting city! You shouldn't have built so close to a volcano! | Stop-Motion Animation: An egg-shaped blob of clay transforms into a fire-breathing dragon! Learn how to create the illusion of motion with everyday materials like LEGOs, toys, clay, and paper cutouts. Bring your creative ideas to life with stop-motion animation software and your imagination. |
| Afternoon | Slime Time: Get ready to be slimed! Discover the chemistry behind all things gooey and gummy, then make our own oozes, slimes, mucus, and gooes. |
| 7/6 - 7/9 (Week 3) |
| Morning | Medieval Makerlab: People in the Middle Ages built mighty castles and giant churches with just simple tools and human labor. We’ll build some fun structures of our own and learn how a drawbridge works, what powers a catapult, and what’s going on in clock towers. | LEGO Robotics: Use Lego Technic and the MINDSTORMS programming system to build and program your own robotic inventions! Using motors, sensors and imagination, we'll work on projects like art-bots, maze-runners, sumo-bots, robo-soccer, and others! |
| Afternoon | Dungeoneers Guild: You search a dark dungeon by torchlight A giant troll steps out of the shadows, and he looks mad! What will you do? Run, fight, cast a spell? The choice is yours as you and your friends play heroes in a fantasy world using the Dungeons and Dragons rules. You'll search dungeons, solve riddles, fight monsters and hopefully escape with the treasure and your life. Make sure to bring your imagination! |
| 8/2 - 8/6 (Week 4) |
| Morning | Mind's Eye: Science of Illusions: How do we know what we are seeing? Or eyes are amazing sensors, and they work with the brain to tell us what is going on. But what happens when we trick our eyes and brain with shapes that aren’t what they seem? Find out by learning about perception and making some illusionary artworks! | Build-A-Bot: We’ll build fun toy robots from kits, and learn about circuits, gears and sensors that make these fascinating projects work! |
| Afternoon | Electric Boss: How do electrical devices work? How does energy get from a battery to a light bulb? Learn how electric circuits, batteries and motors work, then use your imagination to design and build your own electric devices like a boss! |
| 8/23 - 8/27 (Week 5) |
| Morning | Ecosystem Adventures:Learn about plants, soil, and ecosystems by making miniature biomes each day to take home, from underwater aquascape to a dinosaur terrarium showcasing the evolution of plant life. | Scratch Programming: Create and code your own games and animations while applying logic and mathematical concepts such as Cartesian coordinate, variables, subroutines and broadcasting. Publish your creation on the Internet and share them with your friends! |
| Afternoon | Vet School: Do you love animals? As a vet in training you'll learn about how to care for pets, diagnose illness and how to treat injured animals in an emergency. Look at X-rays of different kinds of pets and study animal physiology. We will have a variety of real pets to interact with every day. |
| 8/30 - 9/3 (Week 6) |
| Morning | Rockets: Blast off! The sky's the limit as you investigate Newton's Three Laws of Motion, then build and test different kinds of rockets. We'll also learn about the Apollo program, the International Space Station and the Mars rover. | LEGO Robotics: Use Lego Technic and the MINDSTORMS programming system to build and program your own robotic inventions! Using motors, sensors and imagination, we'll work on projects like art-bots, maze-runners, sumo-bots, robo-soccer, and others! |
| Afternoon | Scratch Programming: Create and code your own games and animations while applying logic and mathematical concepts such as Cartesian coordinate, variables, subroutines and broadcasting. Publish your creation on the Internet and share them with your friends! |
