Complete daily challenges to promote critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving in a STEM-based 8-day camp!

Students will learn about the Engineering Design Process. They will be posed with a challenge at the beginning of class and we will work through the activity as they brainstorm and create to complete the challenge. We will discuss with one visual slide in the first 10 minutes and then begin problem-solving and creating for the rest of the class. We will take the last 5 minutes to share or present our designs. Students will not be required to present their designs, they will be encouraged. Each day we will complete one new activity that promotes curiosity, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. A goal of the class to create a space where students will share ideas.
