Course Descriptions

Course name: Kitchen Chemistry / Cooking Grades: K-3

Sessions: both

Description: Every family has its own personal chemistry lab--and it's usually the most popular room in the house. The trouble is, many of us don't realize what we're doing every day. When we toast bread, bake brownies, or pop popcorn – it's chemistry! We will address a food-related science question with simple explanations and hands-on experiments. We'll learn some fun things about science and, you never know, your kids MAY just want to cook dinner for you! Course name: Whiz Kid Robotics

Grades: 2-3 Sessions: both

Description: Whiz Kids! Create, build, program robots, problem-solve, learn code, design, communicate, collaborate, and discover how to be an expert and leader in technology! This is a great course to make new friends and network with other kids who have similar interests. Whiz Kids will experience a little bit of everything in the fields of technology and engineering including Lego WeDo, Coding (Code.org), Scratch, Lego and KNEX free build, Lego NXT, Capsela, OWI, Lego EV3, RoboSapien, and My Lego Network to name a few. Various apps will also be explored (on personal devices).

Course Name: Shaping Ideas Into Reality with 3D Modeling Grades: 3-8

Session: morning

Description: Do you have a product idea you want to create, or even send to a 3D printer? Do you love concept design, character art, or just visualizing your ideas in 3D space? In this course, we're going to take a look at how you can do all of that by learning the basics of 3D modeling. You will create amazing designs using Google Sketch Up. You will draw simple 3D objects, move around your scene, and animate your ideas.

Course Name: Flash Animation Grades: 4-8

Session: afternoon

Description: Flash Animation is an intro course that allows students to explore the basics of creating objects and animation using Macromedia Flash. Flash Animation is a form of animation regularly employed to create short, simple shows on the Internet. It has developed in recent years and is now a far more interactive and widely used form of website design. The focus of this course will revolve around the use of tools and features that allow the creation of different types of animation. The end projects will be ready for publication on websites or within various software programs.

Course Description: Wet and Wild ~ Fun with Water Grades: 2-5

Sessions: both

Description: Have you ever made waves in a pool and wondered how the waves of the ocean develop? Have you ever walked down to the beach and questioned why the water is sometimes close to the dunes or really far away? Well this STEM camp is for you! In this fun and beachy STEM camp we will learn about the ocean waves, why there are high tides and low tides, and all about surface and under water currents. We will build our own waves and conduct an

experiment on the tides of the ocean! To celebrate all of our hard work, we will also be enjoying a yummy beachy treat and maybe get a little wet!
