The camp blends imaginative Rube Goldberg engineering projects with sports and outdoor activities, fostering holistic development in a university setting.
Campers embark on a journey of innovation, unleashing their creative potential and Maker-style thinking by engineering imaginative machines that accomplish simple tasks in delightfully complex ways. They dive into the world of Rube Goldberg machines, applying innovative thinking and physics principles to design and construct fantastic contraptions. The camp focuses on engineering and design principles through imaginative projects, where campers create Rube Goldberg machines, functional structures, and dynamic gadgets while learning about physics and engineering. Teamwork and creativity play a central role, helping campers develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Weekly themes ensure new machine challenges, keeping kids' energy and creativity high. The program culminates in a Friday Family Showcase where creativity and engineering skills shine brightly.
A typical day balances hands-on STEM projects, fostering collaboration and critical thinking, with outdoor and recreational activities like sports and games.
This camp is ideal for curious and active elementary-aged children who enjoy hands-on learning, problem-solving, and collaborative projects in STEM.
