Hack into the code of classic games! Students will learn Java coding skills while modifying games such as Asteroids, Tetris, Snake, and more! Coding beginners and more experienced students will love this class. This fun class is our staff and students’ favorite coding class. This class requires good keyboarding skills, as we will be editing text files. Bringing a flash drive to save code is recommended. Please bring lunch and a drink.

Super-charged LEGO® Robotics Projects! Get ready to take ultimate control! Students will build extreme robots and overcome challenges using the Mindstorms Systems from LEGO®, servo motors, advanced ultrasonic, touch and light sensors, and specialized LEGO® Technic® engineering components. Students working in small teams will control the robot with programs and then experiment and modify them. Please bring lunch and a drink.

Illuminate the light this summer with awesome STEAM projects. Have fun as we explore glow-in-the-dark pigments and learn the difference between fluorescent vs. luminescent. We’ll also use LED lights to create a handy flashlight, light up underwater sea monsters, engineer a cool night lamp, and more! Full of fun STEM and art projects (STEAM). Take home a light-up project every day!

This summer, immerse yourself in the magic world of wizards as you join us in this one-of-a-kind mix of STEAM (STEM and art projects) adventures. Create a magic light-up wand, mix up fun concoctions, engineer your own locomotive, create your very own Golden Snitch™ and many more fascinating projects. Your summer can’t get more magical!

Do you have what it takes to survive in the Wild? In this cool camp, you and your team will get challenged to create cool gadgets to “survive” in the Wild! From engineering a cool periscope, harness the power of the sun to cook (marshmallows! - yummy), engineer a device for drinkable water, engineer a shelter, and so much more, you’ll be transformed from this cool adventure!

This course will give you hands-on experience developing your game using Scratch 3, a visual coding platform. Students will learn to think like programmers and learn coding concepts while creating a 2-dimensional, arcade-style Super Mario Bros-themed game. The first part of the class will be instructor-led. With any remaining time, students will have the opportunity to customize their games. Bring a USB drive to save your games. Please bring lunch and a drink.
