Think, Plan, Create - 21st Century Skills in Use!
STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics!

In this camp, students will be exposed to a different strand of engineering each day, including civil, mechanical, and electrical. Sample activities include: examining different types of bridge construction, investigating simple machines, and constructing electrical fuses. Lots of other hands- on engineering skills will be incorporated into each day! On the last day of learning, students will launch their learning out of this world!
