In this camp, learners will be exposed to the engineering and design process (plan, create, test, improve) as they complete STEM challenges. Content areas, inclusive of: reading, writing, math and social studies, will be integrated throughout the week. Students will be presented with daily challenges and will be guided through the engineering and design process (EDP) as they work to solve the challenge. Learners will share their builds live on camera. The camp classes are structured as teacher facilitated with learners actively engaged in a hands-on manner to work through each challenge. I will be the coach in each class guiding learners as they plan, create, test their ideas and make changes to improve on their thinking. My teaching style is flexible, relaxed and engaging. I see myself as part of the learning environment providing a safe space for budding engineers to give it a go and accept a fail (First Attempt at Learning). Learners will engage with each other and the teacher in a fluid manner throughout the week. They will share success, failure, and suggestions with each other. 

Examples of challenges for this camp: (These are only examples, actual challenges will be listed in the classroom and will change from week to week. Not all challenges are listed.)
