Hello! I'm Alex. I'm heading into my third year of Aerospace Engineering at Carleton University. I love piloting drones, playing sports, and solving puzzles. My favorite candy is the sour peach gummies. Most of all, I have a passion for STEM! 🚀😃

Hi! My name is Brianna. I will be starting my second year of Mechanical Engineering in the fall. I like to tinker with circuits, robots, and design. I also love listening to music and dancing. I can't wait to share our awesome STEM activities with you this summer! 🌷

Campers will design awesome fidget spinners using CAD modeling and bring them to life with custom decorations. They can also create button pins to show off their unique style.

Campers are introduced to different engineering programs through activities around the room. Each corner of the room will represent a department at Carleton!

Campers will explore how sound waves work, uncover surprising sound illusions, and craft their own popsicle stick harmonicas to make music. Get ready for an ear-opening adventure!

Campers will use pencils and circuit elements like buttons, lights, and motors to build their own working circuits. With creativity and hands-on exploration, they'll discover how electricity flows.

Campers will bring a robot dog to life using Micro:Bits, making it walk and move with their code. They'll also craft a cardboard hand puppet with eyes that light up when its mouth opens turning their creativity into interactive magic.

Campers will explore how surfaces absorb and reflect heat through the science of albedo, using temperature guns to see the difference firsthand. Then, they’ll put their knowledge to the test in Tinkercad, designing a house in the Sim Lab with smart insulation to control temperature effectively.

Campers will use Makey Makey to control their own rhythm game in Scratch, turning everyday objects into game controllers. With coding and creativity, they'll bring their beats to life in a fun, interactive way.

Inspired by the popular game Hungry Hungry Hippos, campers will design and build their own battle-ready bots to compete in a high-stakes brick-pushing challenge against another group. Strategy, engineering, and teamwork come together as each robot fights to claim the most bricks.

Campers will put their engineering skills to the test as they design and build their own sturdy shelters. With real-world natural disasters in mind, they’ll craft structures that can withstand simulated forces like wind, water, and shaking ground.

Campers will design and build the fastest Archimedes screw, a simple yet powerful invention for moving water. Once their creations are ready, they’ll race against other camp groups to see who can transport the most water in the shortest time.

Campers will dive into the biology lab to observe microorganisms like fascinating water bears up close. With guidance from a mentor one week, they’ll explore the hidden world of tiny life forms for a week.

Step into the Superlab on campus for a cool experiment with hot ice! Campers will use the magic of chemistry to create mesmerizing crystallized towers, watching science unfold before their eyes. It's chemistry meets creativity.

Campers will build a custom dino game using a screen, breadboard, and button, then program it in Arduino to create an interactive prehistoric adventure.

Campers will first design, build, and decorate their own garden windmill to take home, adding a personal touch to their creation. Then, working in groups, they will construct a motor-powered windmill with a light in a miniature house, gaining hands-on experience with renewable energy concepts. This project blends creativity, engineering, and teamwork while fostering a deeper understanding of sustainable power.

Using Minecraft Education Edition, they'll explore AI concepts, experiment with coding, and uncover how intelligent systems operate within a virtual environment. This interactive experience makes learning both engaging and practical, building foundational knowledge in a fun and immersive way.
