Vacation Program Descriptions

Friday (Feb 16th)
Morning Deoxyribonucleic Acid: Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is the building block of human life. But why? Why do we, and all complex life, use DNA instead of RNA like so many bacteria? Why does all life use ribonucleic acids at all? And what will it look like when we harvest globs of DNA to gawk at? Robotics: With Lego Mindstorms you'll build and program a robot. You'll learn the basics of programming then set your creation loose!
Break Strawberry DNA: Taste the nuclei!
Afternoon Papercraft & Animation: Create paper creatures and then use them as characters in a stop-motion movie.

Monday (Feb 19th)
Morning Dino Dig: Learn about some of the latest paleontological discoveries and the principles behind the geologic layers, then dig up a dinosaur of your own to reconstruct and take home! Robotics: With Lego Mindstorms you'll build and program a robot. You'll learn the basics of programming then set your creation loose!
Break Jello Rex: Eat like a king.
Afternoon Papercraft & Animation: Create paper creatures and then use them as characters in a stop-motion movie.

Tuesday (Feb 20th)
Morning Ice Slime: Explore polymers as we use chemical reactions to create both translucent and white slimes, then discover their similarities and differences through various experiements. Robotics: With Lego Mindstorms you'll build and program a robot. You'll learn the basics of programming then set your creation loose!
Break Snowball Pudding: Have a ball!
Afternoon Papercraft & Animation: Create paper creatures and then use them as characters in a stop-motion movie.

Morning Biology of Star Wars: The big eyes of a porg, the nostils of a hutt, the curved claws of a wookie... What does the shape of a living creature tell us about its habitat, behavior, and abilities? How can you tell just by looking which aliens are likely friendly and which are more likely to have you for supper? Robotics: With Lego Mindstorms you'll build and program a robot. You'll learn the basics of programming then set your creation loose!

Break More Crystals: Crunchy.
Afternoon Papercraft & Animation: Create paper creatures and then use them as characters in a stop-motion movie.

Friday (Feb 23rd)
Morning Egg-ology: Why did even the biggest dinosaurs lay eggs no larger than an ostrich's? How are snake eggs different from eagle? How are duck eggs different than chicken? What sort of eggs do platypus lay? Robotics: With Lego Mindstorms you'll build and program a robot. You'll learn the basics of programming then set your creation loose!
Break Meringue and Custard: Yolk and white on display.
Afternoon Papercraft & Animation: Create paper creatures and then use them as characters in a stop-motion movie.
