The camp offers a unique blend of hands-on engineering challenges and leverages the attractions of Slick City Action Park for engaging data acquisition lessons.
The "Engineering is Me - Gravity and Gears Camp" offers an immersive STEM experience where children engage in hands-on challenges focused on engineering principles. Participants will design and build structures, explore physics concepts, and develop technical skills. The camp utilizes a STEM mentoring model, incorporating both technical skill-focused and connection-focused sessions. Activities include designing code for Styrofoam cup towers, building marble runs, and participating in longer design challenges like constructing bridge prototypes or pressure-powered cars. The camp also leverages the unique environment of Slick City Action Park, using its giant slides for data acquisition lessons to measure velocity and acceleration. Students will gain experience in robotics and data acquisition, engage with STEM faculty and peers, and develop their engineering identity through fun, hands-on learning.
A typical day includes morning sessions with hands-on engineering activities and guest speakers, followed by an afternoon session dedicated to a longer design challenge.
This camp is best for elementary-aged students interested in exploring engineering, robotics, and physics through interactive and engaging challenges.
