Camp weeks
Each week of camp will have a different theme to explore. The first half of the day is Focused Learning Time in which lessons are taught that build upon a project theme or a design challenge. Campers use the design thinking process to explore specific engineering, technology, and artistic skills that will inform their process as they work on weekly projects. Campers use Maker Journals to guide and document their design process. After lunch, there is Tinker Time. This is a relaxed time for campers to further explore and expand on activities introduced, different technology tools, and materials, working individually or in teams.
There is a Student Showcase on the last day of each camp week, from 3:30-4:30pm. Students have the opportunity to share their designs, projects and process with family friends, staff, guests, and Industry professionals. All are invited to provide comments and feedback on student work.
