                                                                            Week 3: Visual Storytelling     
                                                           July 9 - July 13
                                                Instructor: Lauren Cage
 


This week, campers will engage in creative STEM learning through the art of storytelling.  Campers will be introduced to why sharing stories are important to the human experience through maker-style projects, such as designing magical light-up circuit wands, creating playful optical illusion toys and engineering shadow puppets with working joints. Over the week, campers will be planning their story-based showcase experience and put together an interactive experience for the showcase.
