PLAYING WITH STEM

(TinkerCAD intro and student choice CAD design process for each challenge)

This Spring Camp, your child won’t just be having fun — they’ll be thinking like an engineer! 🚀
Each day is packed with hands-on challenges that sneak in real-world engineering, problem-solving, and creativity skills used in future STEM careers.

🌟 Day 1: Launch It! – The Aiming Contest

Future engineers start here! Students will design and build their own launchers while exploring physics concepts like elasticity, tension, velocity, and thrust. Through trial, testing, and redesign, they’ll use math, science, and creativity to improve their designs and hit their targets — just like real engineers refining prototypes.

🤖 Day 2: All-Terrain Robot Race

Robotics meets adventure! Campers will build and program their own robots, learn how IR sensors and remote controlswork, and design custom tools to conquer an all-terrain race course. This day mirrors how engineers combine coding, mechanics, and problem-solving to create machines that work in the real world.

⚡ Day 3: Electro-Fun!

It’s time to power up! Students will explore the basics of electricity and magnetism by building electromagnets and electronic circuits. They’ll tackle creative challenges that require focus, teamwork, and innovative thinking — skills used by electrical and computer engineers every day.

🧸 Day 4: STEM Toy Maker

Who says engineering can’t be playful? Campers will design and build toys using physics concepts and the Engineering Design Process. Along the way, they’ll learn how engineers turn ideas into products, balancing individual creativity with teamwork and collaboration.

✈️ Day 5: Sailing with Wings

Taking flight into aerospace engineering! Students will learn how air moves using the Bernoulli Principle, discovering how wind creates lift and thrust. They’ll then design, test, and refine paper airplanes — including boomerang-style flyers — working both independently and in teams to solve flight challenges.
