Campers take on the roles of aeronautical engineers, astronauts and explorers as they launch a daring new expedition to Planet Terminus! They'll develop engineering skills, investigate physics concepts, and discover space travel. After landing safely on Planet Terminus, they'll build a rover to navigate the terrain, investigate the geology, use the scientific method to carry out various experiments, including analysis of soil and water samples. Time to make a new home on Planet Terminus! Campers learn all the skills required for a new planetary home, activities perfect for teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking skills. Campers may even discover signs of life and get up close and personal with inhabitants of Planet Terminus! Join us for an exciting spring break experience like none other!

Just because we colonize Mars doesn't mean crimes won't happen in space! Yikes! That's when we'll need real space detectives to solve crimes. This story follows the saga of Lucas Holmes, the first "space detective," as he leads campers through intrigue, sabotage and foul-play to solve riddles and clues, all while integrating astrophysics, engineering gadgets, traditional crime-solving skills like fingerprint and evidence analysis, and much more! Give your future astro-crime fighter a unique STEM experience this summer!

Robots are everywhere! They drive cars, explore planets, automate factories, clean homes, and are part of our daily lives. This in depth robotics and programming camp (utilizing Mindstorm) helps future robotics engineers understand both the fundamentals and complexities of robotics as well as how to integrate it with programming. They explore different robotics engineering concepts and design their own solutions to real-world challenges. By the end of the week, campers will understand the concept of technological dualism - melding both mind (programs) and body (robots) to create something truly unique and exciting.

Ever wanted to see the curvature of the Earth? Campers build a 3D-printed, technology-packed, can-sized satellite and launch it with a high altitude balloon into the stratosphere - above the ozone layer - at more than 100,000 feet! In partnership with Magnitude.io, this camp places students in the midst of a scientific exploration mission culminating in a balloon launch of a real scientific payload and analysis of the resulting data, all while learning physics, arduino programming, atmospheric conditions, airspace regulations and other mission-critical parameters that will inspire them like never before! [Note: student/parent travel required to see balloon launch; launch schedule subject to FAA/atmospheric conditions.]

Imagine if the asteroid that hit Earth 60 million years ago missed! How would that have impacted evolution, our ecology and more? Would dinos be our pets or would we be theirs?! We'll explore that concept in a fun way with activities about the natural world, having students learn dino biology and ecology, then applying that to the possible evolution to modern dinos. Campers will engage in both exploratory field and laboratory work to study different specimens, as well as create their own crafts-based creatures, play games and much more!

Experienced students learn everything they need to build and program their own multi-tasking Arduino robot! Throughout the week, campers design, build and program their own robotic platform with Arduino and Robot C programming language, using various sensors and micro-controllers. In addition, they learn how to perform "simulation" - an important tool in engineering design. For the true robotics engineer, this camp allows students to plan their own projects, use creative engineering and scientific tools, and program with a powerful programming language!
Prerequisite: Programming and robotics experience preferred. Ability to follow complex instructions required.
