Let your creativity loose as you explore the art of STEAM –Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math! Students will work on projects centered around architecture, animation, games and much more. Each day, students will engage in hands-on projects which incorporate STEAM! Students will take part in hands-on activities that illustrate the "Design Process." Activities will be delivered through biotechnology problem scenarios. These problem scenarios will be based on real problems that affect our everyday lives. Students will be introduced to biological techniques and processes that can be used to solve these problems. Students will participate in an Innovation Challenge to create their own prototype. By incorporating hands-on innovations, students will be exposed to advanced manufacturing techniques to include prototyping and robotics. Students will also explore the business of moving from a design phase, to product fabrication, to mass production. Students will work in a computer lab learning CAD and Solidworks and be challenged to think ‘out of the box.’ Field trips to local manufacturing companies will be included. The week’s culminating activity will include presentations by students on their Innovation Challenge designs. Camp made possible through a grant from the Foundation of the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association and in partnership with DCC. What’s the big deal with nanoscience? Think of the smallest thing you can make. A tiny paper airplane? A knot in a string? Now think of making something millions of times smaller. That’s what nanotechnology is about. This two-day camp will focus on the smallest technology around. Students will use microscopes learn about sites unseen, build Buckyballs, and discover a world made up of nanomaterials.
Get ready to learn all about digital photography. This one day camp will provide the opportunity for students to get ‘hands-on’ experience with cameras. It is the belief that photography provides children the wonderful opportunity to not only express themselves, but to see the world in a different light Participants will also go on a nature excursion.

Welcome to the world of BrickLab®! Hands-on building topics will include Construction Engineering, Mathematics, Communication, and Physics. Students will discover architectural forms and structures such as a Greek temple and a pyramid. Students will also experiment with different types of motion and forces of Newton’s laws of motion and the effects of friction. Students will build models, design experiments and solve problems in a challenging and fun atmosphere!
