Forinspiration, campers will explore the design features and specializedmaterials of a variety of sports balls, then create their own. Theyup their game by experimenting with inclined planes and gravitationalpull to build a customized light-up game board, giving it a uniquelogo and a name. Finally, they’ll be inducted into The Game of Famefor their innovative thinking and award-winning skills.
Let’s Glow™
Investigating the science oflight through fiber optics, illuminating inventions and glowinganimals, campers will make a one-of-a-kind Glow Box. They’ll wire acircuit to power light strips they install, then unleash theircreativity by adding color for interesting visual effects. Usingultraviolet light, they uncover clues to reveal the mystery behind acreature with a glowing feature, and their big ideas shine bright!
Operation: HydroDrop™
In this epic global adventure,campers embark on an operation to help solve water challenges aroundthe world. They’ll learn about the important role water plays forpeople and the planet, then customize a robotic laboratory on wheelsto assist in their exploration. They create their own model tinyhomes complete with amenities and crops, and as they identify ways tohydrate their plants using recycled water, they become hydro heroes!
Prototyping Studio™
Staring as contestants on agame show, campers mold, shape and transform their ideas into amazinginventions. Using a DIY toolbox, everyday materials and inspirationfrom Our Nation’s Greatest Innovators™, National Inventors Hallof Fame Inductees, they complete a series of exciting prototypingchallenges to uncover the ultimate place to invent. While tappinginto their imaginations, they discover that invention can happenanytime, anywhere!
