Our drone camp is a unique and exciting opportunity for students to learn about programing drones for autonomous flight. Over the course of one week, students will work with Tello drones and use a variety of tools and technologies to design and build attachments for their drones.

Students will learn the basics of drone programming, including how to write code to control the drones' movement and perform various tasks. They will also learn about the use of sensors and other technologies to enable the drones to navigate and make decisions on their own.

Students will use computer-aided design (CAD) software to design attachments for their drones. This may include things like payload baskets for carrying candy or other small items, or custom-designed landing gear to improve the drones' stability.

Students will use 3D printing technology to bring their creations to life. They will learn about the 3D printing process and how to set up and operate a 3D printer, as well as how to troubleshoot any issues that may arise.

Throughout the camp, students will have the opportunity to test and refine their drones and attachments, working together in small teams to solve problems and achieve their goals. By the end of the week, they will have gained a solid understanding of drone programming and design, as well as hands-on experience with 3D printing technology.

Do you like video games? We will be creating a video game using Scratch and designing/building a controller for the game using a Makey Makey invention kit. Participants will learn the basics of game design, block coding, and will be challenged to invent a unique controller for their game.

Makey Makey kits will be available for purchase for $55 if students would like to continue to explore after this program.

Did you know that diamonds, jewels, and precious metals are dug out of dirt and mud before they are made beautiful by craftspeople?

Come spend a week learning to turn common recyclable items into beautiful jewelry. We will be learning how to turn items such as newspapers, water bottles, DVDs, and other common items into different jewelry components. At the end of the week, each participant will be challenged to create a piece of jewelry using their new skills.

Weather is fascinating, and if you never experienced making your own tornadoes or lightning then we recommend this Introduction to Meteorology. Students will discover the fascinating realm of weather in this hands-on weather experience.

Students will create experiments and engage in activities that demonstrate weather phenomena on a small (but still impressive) scale. Students will learn how storms form, create clouds in a bottle, build a tornado in a jar, and even learn how to forecast the weather!

This program is a lot of fun, and a great way for students to see how much fun and exciting science can be! 

Students unleash their creativity as they learn the fashion design process in this week-long camp! They will gain experience in designing, basic sewing, pattern making, textile design, culminating in a final outfit. By the end of the week, students will have experienced the whole fashion design process just as a real fashion designer!

Want to learn to "photoshop" or create your own graphics? Develop skills to edit, adjust, or alter photos and create stunning graphic visuals for your personal projects. Express your freedom and artistic expression through the powerful photo-editing tool of GIMP. In this introductory class, students will learn the basic capabilities and user interface of GIMP and use their acquired knowledge to create their own graphics, images or edited pictures.

Love music? Well now you can learn to create your own! Discover the process of sampling, editing, and recording to make your own music from start to finish using Cakewalk by Bandlab. In this introductory course, students will learn the basic User Interface (UI) of the Bandlab Online Editor, an easier-to-use online DAW modeled after Cakewalk. Students will learn how to compose or adapt musical pieces using real or virtual instruments and effects to create musical pieces within their interest.

Love Minecraft? Want to become a redstone engineer? 

Learn the basics of the engineering design process through the endless sandbox game of Minecraft and the game’s electricity equivalent. Plan and build circuits using redstone to understand the flow of energy in a system and learn cool novelties of Minecraft redstone. In this introductory redstone engineering course, students will learn basic redstone components and their function(s) which will be used to design simple circuits and builds to enhance or automate the Minecraft experience.
