Grades 1 - 3
Please note that most of these courses will run twice throughout the summer. The weeks and dates for these courses are listed at the conclusion of each course description.
Exploring Electronics - During electronics week, students will become electrical engineers as they explore circuits! Electricity and electronics are everywhere in our learners' lives! Students will be introduced to the basics behind circuits and use their knowledge to create battery powered cars, battery powered bots, and more!
Offered During: Week 1 (6/30 - 7/3) and Week 4 (7/21 - 7/25)
Exploring Space - During the Space Exploration Week, students will be challenged to create inventions that can take off and shoot for the stars! We will learn how to use hand tools as we create prototypes that soar, glide, and blast off throughout the week. In addition to our big blast-off experiments, students will embark upon mini missions within the worlds of aviation, aerodynamics, and rocketry! At the end of the week students will get the chance to launch their own water powered rockets!
Offered During: Week 1 (6/30 - 7/3) and Week 4 (7/21 - 7/25)
Exploring Science - During Exploring Science week, students will be challenged to create concoctions through experiments and designs that defy what we know! We will learn how materials and substances can be combined as we create solutions, gases, and oozing matter throughout the week. In addition to our big science experiments, students will complete mini experiments in the world of chemistry and science! Sample projects include slime, diy bouncy balls, tie-dye, volcanoes, and more!
Offered During: Week 2 (7/7 - 7/11) and Week 5 (7/28 - 8/1)
Exploring Robotics & Coding - During the robotics and coding week, students will be challenged to learn how code makes our modern world work! We will learn how to use block-based programming languages as we create apps, robots, or electronic contraptions that complete real-world challenges. In addition to our big coding projects, students will complete mini activities that further show how we can use code to make our lives easier and better!
Offered During: Week 2 (7/7 - 7/11) and Week 5 (7/28 - 8/1)
Exploring Engineering - During the building and creation week, the sky's the limit as students become hands-on engineers! Learning various building and creation techniques students will design and fabricate different engineering creations through the week! Students will be using the engineering design process to complete different mini projects every day. Sample projects include roller coasters, cars, and carnival rides!
Offered During: Week 3 (7/14 - 7/18) and Week 6 (8/4 - 8/8)
Exploring Graphics - Exploring Graphics will allow our youngest learners to explore art principles as it pertains to engineering and design. The "A" in STEAM allows students to be more creative in problem solving while also being innovative. Students will explore both traditional and digital art as they learn about graphic design, 3D design and integrating art into numerous mini projects. Students will have the opportunity to create and design their own board games, temporary tattoos, and calendars!
Offered During: Week 3 (7/14 - 7/18) and Week 6 (8/4 - 8/8)
