SUMMER 2009 CAMP TOPICS:
GIZMO’S ROBOT FACTORY
Build, customize, and battle with your very own walking K’Nex robot! Discover the secrets behind robo-cool tools while building a satellite, investigating top-secret listening devices and crafting a periscope. View color in 3-D “robot vision” and explore your own color creations at home. Full day campers will kick it into high gear while building a take-home robot tool kit and their own motorized invention.
POWERFUL PLANET
Let’s team up to explore the planet’s most powerful forces! Learn how new sources of energy can make the planet a better place to live by building speeding electric cars, cooking up s’mores using solar energy and creating your own water filtration system! Stay all day to solve the mystery of the endangered sea turtles. Recreate and learn about the dangers they face on their adventurous journey to the sea.
FABULOUS PHYSICS CHALLENGE
Are you ready to grapple, physics style? It’s a showdown when campers build dragsters, throw magnetic darts, and hurtle parachutes through the air. These budding physicists will throw down their sickest moves with skateboard racers and slime sport shoes. Serious mini-scientists will learn how physics properties relate to the sports and self-guided contraptions. This physics challenge will be your campers’ biggest adventure.
SPACE AND ROCKETRY
Back by popular demand! Blast off from planet Earth to explore the farthest reaches of the universe by launching your very own rocket! Parachute down to the rocky and dangerous terrain of Mars, while you investigate the magnificent planets of our universe. Construct your electric Mars Rover to uncover the mysteries of the surface of the planets. Space: no longer the final frontier!
