Mad Science: Eureka! The Inventor's Camp
This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.
Inspire the inventor and scientist in you during this week of discovery and invention. Each day children will be given a series of challenges which must be overcome using basic materials, simple machines, tips from world famous inventors and the most important thing of all - your mind! If you were stranded on a desert island, how would you survive? You will need to build a shelter, find food and purify water, protect yourself and your team mates from the elements and find a way off the island. Journey to the future and examine the ultramodern inventions of the 23rd century. Then design the future - today! Create mini light sabers, mini-space stations, and electric flying contraptions. With a little bit of ingenuity, you'll construct catapults and forts, build Ruberg contraptions that perform simple tasks, and experiment with humanoid robots. Take home projects include pin-pong ball launchers, mousetrap contraption cars, mystery sticks, tubular blow darts, and other wacky contraptions. While Thomas Edison said, "invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration" this camp is 100% FUN!
