Our Applied Science camps offer a variety of fun and engaging science classes from Creative Creator camps for the little ones in K3 to Physics, Robotics, Mechanics, and Chemistry activities for 6th graders. These camps are perfect for aspiring young scientists and science enthusiasts eager to explore new things this summer!
Young creators will explore applied science through hands-on activities in physics, robotics, mechanics, and chemistry. They’ll build biomimicry robots, create new materials, and experiment with air cannons to see science in action.
Applied Science for Creative Creators K3-G1
This fun and interactive course sparks curiosity, problem-solving, and creativity with exciting take-home projects to keep the learning going.
CAMP SCHEDULE
- Day 1: Physics Fun
1. Color Spin Lab
Build a centripetal spinning platform machine and use it to test various physical effects and create beautiful artwork.
2. Air-Powered Cannon
Build and discover how physics influences the path of a moving object. Students will also learn to measure distances and compete on maximizing their longest distance.
- Day 2: Robotics & Mechanics
1. Robotic Arm
Create 3 Degree of Freedom robotic arm using servos and learn how they work by experimentation. Students will use their robot arm to play mini games.
2. Electric Broom
Building an electric broom that uses spinning motion to gather objects. Students will learn about basic electricity and discuss other types of robot rover technology for various applications
- Day 3: Chemistry & Materials Science
1. Magnetic Bio-gel
Create their own magnetic bio-gel and learn about its application especially in the medical field. Students will carry out a simulation using their bio-gel to model how they are used in the medical field.
2. Dissolving Rainbow
Creating an ink that can split apart into various colors and be mixed over and over again. Students will explore various types of inks and observe their performance as reversible separating inks.
Applied Science for Curious Explorers G2-G3
Students will take their exploration of applied science to the next level through hands-on activities in physics, robotics, mechanics, and chemistry. From building advanced robots to creating and testing biogel models to simulate their use in the medical field, and experiment with air cannons to understand important forces in everyday life. Students will create a 3 degree of freedom robotic arm and use them to complete challenges.
By combining scientific principles with creativity, they will sharpen their problem-solving and reasoning skills while having fun. Each session is designed to be interactive and engaging, with many projects they create being taken home for further exploration.
