The camp combines rigorous hands-on STEM project-based learning with exciting recreational activities like virtual reality and laser tag, allowing students to keep all their fabricated projects.
Students at Engineering Explorations STEM Camp engage in hands-on, project-based learning to explore various engineering principles. They will build exciting projects such as roller coasters and rockets, and experiment with RC vehicles and drones. The camp also incorporates other engaging activities like Laser Tag, Virtual Reality, RC boats, and classic video games. Through these activities, campers develop critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. They document their learning in an "engineering portfolio" and get to keep all the projects they fabricate. The curriculum is designed to provide rigorous STEM content in a fun and exciting environment, fostering both academic and leadership skills through cooperative learning.
A typical day involves engaging in innovative hands-on STEM projects in the morning, followed by an afternoon "technology recess" with activities like flying drones, driving RC cars, racing RC boats, playing vintage video games, laser tag, and experiencing virtual reality.
This camp is best for curious middle school students aged 8-14 who enjoy hands-on projects and want to explore various engineering disciplines in a fun and interactive environment.
