From pulleys to automobiles to 3D printers, technology is a vital part of our past, present, and future. Spend a week at the Lab learning, building, and innovating with all kinds of tech.

In Tech Trailblazers, campers will:

💻 Get up close and personal with the Lab's technology including robots, 3D printers, and underwater ROVs.

💻 Build and use modest but impactful technology like simple machines, sundials, and catapults.

💻 Take apart electronics to reveal the inner workings of everyday objects.

💻 Power their own inventions or robots by experimenting with electricity.

💻 Brainstorm and prototype futuristic technologies that could help solve real-world problems.

Chemistry is essential- it makes up our food, air, bodies, and literally everything on Earth and beyond! We'll be in our element this summer as we explore all of the fizzing, bubbling, and color-changing thrills of chemistry at the Lab.

In Chemistry Creations, campers will:

🧪  Engage in hands-on activities that showcase the basics of chemistry from atoms and molecules to the Periodic Table to states of matter.

🧪  Create their own dazzling creations from glowing slime to fizzing bath bombs.

🧪  Observe show-stopping science demonstrations like dry ice bubbles and elephant toothpaste.

🧪  Explore the science magic of glowing, glittering, and color-changing chemical reactions.

🧪  Join the Lab’s Test Kitchen team for a day and try their hand at creating an activity for the Experiment Bar!

How can a playground generate electricity? How can bridges help crabs safely migrate? Can robots support patients in the hospital? Let's turn STEM into action with this camp all about investigating real-world problems and approaching them with creative STEM solutions!

In Mission: Possible, campers will:

💡  Conduct hands-on experiments that inspire innovation, from using chemistry to remove oil from water to engineering model cities that are accessible to everyone

💡  Discover how failure sparks innovation when trials don’t work exactly as planned the first time.

💡  Prototype technology that could be used to tackle STEM challenges.

💡  Meet guest scientists from different fields who use passion and ingenuity to make the world a better place.

💡  Collaborate with other campers to develop their own unique solutions to challenges of their choice.
