YOUR REGISTRATION INCLUDES A STEM CAMP KIT!

That's right, Steve will be sending you a box of materials for your young scientist to use throughout the entire week of camp. This box of materials is required to conduct the experiments and activities featured in this course. After you register for the course, you will be given a link to a form where you can enter your shipping information (no extra charge) so we can send you the kit.

In addition to the special supplies included in your kit, here are the “You-Get-It” items that you’ll need for camp sometime during the week. Please don’t stress… this is all common stuff you’ll find around the house. 

•	Pitcher or container of water (every day)
•	Paper towel (every day)
•	Scissors (every day)
•	Empty bowl (everyday) Just to have on hand to clean up any spills.
•	Metal spoon 
•	Penny 
•	Index card or old business card 
•	Bucket of water - Think about a bucket that you would use to wash your car. Your young scientist will fill the bucket with soapy water to use on the third day - Bubbleology.
•	Your favorite dish soap - We’ve found the Dawn to work well, but your young scientist can use whatever you have at home to wash dishes. The kit comes with two kinds of soap to try, but Steve will suggest that your young scientist try the soap that they use at home. 

The #1 question we get from parents is... Is this going to be messy? No, don't worry. All of the experiments and activities can be conducted at the kitchen countertop or on a table. We suggest that you have a roll of paper towel or a few kitchen towels close by to wipe up spilled water.

That brings up the second most asked question... Where is the best place to set-up our lab? Judging from photos that parents share, most students use the kitchen countertop as their place of learning. It's a good idea to place your computer laptop or tablet device on something that will keep it dry and out of harms way.

What can YOU do to help support your young scientist? The hardest part of your job is NOT to do the experiments for your young scientist. Oh, we know the temptation is going to be great. You’re going to want to get in there and do it yourself… but don’t. Wait until the scientist goes to bed and then you can play with the goodies in the STEM Camp kit. 

Most importantly, if you are enthusiastic about exploration and scientific discovery, your enthusiasm is bound to be contagious.
