Model Rocketry Advance - #119091A2

In this advanced session, campers will go into more depth ion the mathematics and physics associated with space flight.  Participants will also build (from kits) an intermediate and advance model rocket.

Engineering Camp I - #119091A3

All campers will learn the basics of how engineering principles are used to solve any problem.  They will apply the engineering design process to design, build, and test their own mousetrap-powered racer car, solar-powered racer car, and super capacitor dragster. 

Engineering Camp II - #119091A4

Robotics I - #119091A5

Campers will be introduced to the basics of robotics and it's associated math and engineering.  All participants will build (form kits) their own robot and perform various engineering activities related to their robot's design.  Campers will be assigned a beginner, intermediate, or advances level robot, to construct and perform activities based on their grade level.  Grades 2 and 3 Beginner; grades 4 and 5 Intermediate; and grades 6 - 8 Advanced.

Robotics II - #119091A6
