Description:

Engineers work to find solutions to challenges that exist around us in our everyday lives. In this camp we will work as a team creating fun designs to a new challenge presented every day. Projects may include designing a safer roller coaster seat, a tower or fence that can withstand tornado winds, or a popsicle contraption that is less messy when the treat melts. Improve your problem-solving skills by creating new inventions, gadgets, and thingamajigs everyday with fun recycled materials. We will also practice presenting our innovations in preparation for a Family Friday Showcase. Please dress for mess and creativity! Content will be the same each session.
