9AM-12PM: Junior Engineers

Let's take our LEGO building to a whole new level by getting our models moving! 

Junior Engineers introduces our youngest Engineers to LEGO's Technic® brand of components.  Kids have fun building Merry-Go-Rounds, Seesaws, Puppy Dogs, Hockey Players, and more while learning about gears, pulleys, axles, and other elementary Engineering mechanisms!  Students practice and apply their counting, simple addition, and subtraction skills in order to solidify their math skills and see how what they are learning in school is applied in real life!  Junior Engineers provides eye-opening experiences!  Your child will be amazed at what they can build and create!

 

12PM-1PM: Lunch Break

Students should bring nut-free lunch, snacks, and juice to eat and enjoy as they get hungry throughout the day.  Water and restrooms are available.  If weather permits, campers will be taken outside to walk and enjoy the playground nearby.

 

1PM-4PM: Junior Circuits with LittleBits

Demystify Electricity with this introductory class on Circuits.  Kids are introduced to fundamental concepts in electronics by building small electronic projects.  Students learn about Power, Controls, Logic, and more by building circuits to control lights, sounds, motion, wireless communications, and sensors.  Kids learn about Batteries, LEDs, Speakers, and Motors and help them develop insights into how everyday objects around them work.  Circuits provides “enlightening” hands-on experiences for kids!  

 

Early-Morning Drop-Off and Late-Afternoon Pick-Up services are available here.
