Previous Camp Activities

UM Natural History Museum

We took the students on a field trip to learn about evolution, the Earth's landscape, and view some pretty cool fossils!

Rube Goldberg Machine

We encouraged students to work together to build their own Rube Goldberg Machine, in which they designed a deliberately complicated device that performs a simple task.

Bottle Tornado

We used soda bottles and tape to built tornados on the go. Through this experiment, they learned about kinetic energy, potential energy, and weather.

Final Project

During camp, we work with our students to help them develop a research question and experiments on how to answer it. Throughout the week, students and mentors work together to collect and analyze their data and form a conclusion to the question. At the end of camp, students present their research and results to their friends, family, and mentors. Through the final project, students learn about the scientific method and how to communicate their science to others.

"How does the music you listen affect heart health?"

"How does salts affect bacterial population?"
