ROBOTICS: EV3 & Mechanics
Its time to master the Mindstorm! Campers will go learn the basics and fundamentals of the EV3 rover by assembling it from scratch and programming it to complete numerous challenges and obstacles. From ultrasonic to infrared, students will combine multiple types of sensors with motors and block programming to create a practically autonomous rover that is able to measure, respond, and react to their environment. Are you up to the challenge?
CHEMISTRY
Chemistry is a fun, messy and interactive science! Campers will learn all about molecules, chemical reactions, and why things go boom! We will explore acids and bases, endothermic and exothermic reactions, phase changes and even make our own creations of wacky fun projects such as, non-Newtonian fluids, Bouncy polymers, and Bubbling lava bottle.


CODING: Scratch, Python, Java w/ Minecraft, & Game Maker Studio
With coding becoming one of the most useful skills just anybody anyone can pick up, children are being exposed to its wonders at earlier ages. Through the use of various coding languages, campers will have the opportunity to learn the basic fundamentals of code and create their very own fun and interactive projects and games!
STOP MOTION & CLAY-MATION
Stop Motion Animation is the classic art of animating through the movement of physical objects frame by frame, picture by picture, and strung together to create a moving masterpiece! Various famous films have been created in such a way, such as Wallace and Gromit, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Kubo and The Two Strings, and Coraline! Campers will have the opportunity to explore LEGO Stop Motion & Clay-mation while learning about the various techniques that go into making fun animated films!


FLIGHT SCIENCE
The sky is not the limit, it's only the beginning! Campers will explore everything from the origins of flight, navigation and the future of science in aviation. Come build and fly model planes, while learning the forces involved with keeping an airplane in the sky.
Class | Description |
---|---|
Art - Digital Art & Production | Campers put their stylistic techniques and creativity to the test by mixing art with technology and programming. Using tablets, campers will create 3D characters and incorporate them into their own computer games using Scratch software. They will end the week with stop-motion! From creating storyboards to crafting their own unique sets and characters - campers will take on the role of director and producer, capturing frame by frame in order to create their own motion pictures. |
Art - Stop-Motion Xplosion! | Stop Motion Animation is the classic art of animating through the movement of physical objects frame by frame, picture by picture, and strung together to create a moving masterpiece! Various famous films have been created in such a way, such as Wallace and Gromit, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Kubo and The Two Strings, and Coraline! Campers will have the opportunity to explore LEGO Stop Motion & Clay-mation while learning about the various techniques that go into making fun animated films! |
Coding - Game Maker Studio | How do we create our first game? We'll be using the GMSII software to work on a basic platformer game in the Metroidvania style. We'll learn how to code user interfaces and control mechanisms in order to create the necessary systems that can make a game work. We'll also work with graphics manipulation |
