WHAT IS THIS CAMP ABOUT?
This camp is an entire week packed full of robotics, aeronautics, electricity, magnetism, light, lasers, physics, sound, and much more!
In this camp, your kids will learn:
Robotics and engineering
If you're part of the Gold team, you will design and build a robot in-person with Ben Lipper for the 2025-26 VEX IQ challenge. After each day of camp, Gold team members will get together for a personal lesson on how to design, build, program, test, and compete with a robot in the upcoming challenge. All pieces are provided, and students will be paired into teams of 2 or 3.
Aeronautics & Rocketry
We'll cover air pressure, the four aerodynamic forces, Bernoulli's principles, and flight dynamics concepts by constructing stunt planes, hang gliders, bat kites, rotor kites, building pneumatic rockets and chemical pop rockets, playing with the nitrogen atom itself and uncover the physics of flight using Bernoulli's Principles for wing design!
Electricity & Magnetism
We'll cover electricity, conductivity, static charges, magnetism, and Maxwell's Electromagnetism Principles by wiring up circuits, motors, lights, switches, constructing homemade burglar alarms such as trip wires, stomp sensors, tilt sensors, magnetic reed switches, and the electric eye and building a DC electric motor using a galvanometer and magnets
Physics of Light, Sound & Motion
We'll cover Newton's Physical Laws of Motion, light waves, sonic vibrations, resonance, acceleration, g-force, and one of the biggest leaps in all scientific history: how electricity and magnetism are linked to form light waves... by scattering laser beams, building laser light shows, splitting light waves into rainbow shadows, constructing catapult, discovering the perfect pitch to annoy your parents while you investigate sonic vibrations and resonance, AND zooming around your own roller coaster track you get to take home!
Astronomy
Take an intergalactic tour of the universe without leaving your seat! Discover massive black holes, spinning neutron stars, quasars, blazars, magnetars, supernovae, and more as you learn why the sun regularly burps and spits fireballs into space and view solar flares, learn how stars form, why they explode, and just how far away our nearest neighbor is in our galaxy. Includes stargazing on Wednesday night (weather permitting)!
Chemistry Lab
We'll cover chemical kinetics, phase shifts, the five states of matter, atoms, molecules, elements, different types of chemical reactions, and Le Châtelier's Equilibrium Principle. You will cross-link polymers to bubble up slimy substance, create a substance that crawls up stairs, experiment with phase shifts, shake up solutions that change into a rainbow of colors, turn your dad's coffee back into clear water, grow colorful crystals, chemically collapse foam, start fire with a single drop of water, stew up a chemical matrix of heat and ice reactions, and discover how to make hot icicles and supercooled liquids!
Engineering and Robotics
We'll cover how to build a frame (chassis), add motors, sensors, wired remote controls, troubleshooting, and how to ask questions to find your own answers...just like a real scientist! You will construct a mechanized animal robot, build a waterbot, jigglebot, and race car, learn to wire up motor circuits and remote controls, and build several zooming, hopping, swimming, wheeling, dancing robots that you invent yourself! We spend all day in our robot lab building anything you can think up!
AND SO MUCH MORE!
Ultimately, your kids will leave camp with a robust understanding of robotics, engineering, aeronautics, rocketry, chemistry, physics, light, lasers, electricity, magnetism, and so much more!
If you're looking for a way to make sure your child is on track for an incredible future in STEM, this is it!
