June 24th-28th
Junior Engineer's Lab
Put on your hard hat for this exciting week of Engineering Science! We will span the fields of Aerospace, Electrical, Structural & Mechanical Engineering. Explore the role that wind and the movement of air plays on simple flying devices, delve into Newton’s Laws of Motion, create and test self-supporting structures and use your construction skills by assembling and controlling fun machines like pulleys, levers, hydraulic lifts, and robots! Put your skills to the test by building balloon racer cars, hovercrafts, cube puzzles, a hand crank flag waver, suspension bridges, rockets, and other mechanical devices. Come join us to learn how engineering helps us understand the way the world works!
 
July 22nd - 26th
Robot Recruit
Join Mad Science for a week of discovery and fun in this five-day Robotics Camp! Investigate robotic fundamentals with curious robots, learn about the history and current field of robotics, explore robot design potential by using robots that have big personalities, and build ingenious robots to take home. Compare, analyze, and test a variety of robots every day that are correlated to the daily concepts. We will explore circuits, electricity, sensors, gears, and advanced robotic applications. Learn about the mechanical aspects of robots with gears, gear ratios, and torque. Pick up the basics of electricity by snapping together circuits to make a remote-control rover robot. Experiment with sound sensing robots, line-tracking robots, industrial robots, app-controlled performance bots, robotic pets, the world's smartest and smallest robot, and so much more! Our future roboticist rounds out the week getting more in-depth experience programming robots as they cycle through programming stations that will enrich their understanding of programming. We welcome all children to become creative camper's that will design tomorrow’s robots today! *Important Notes: This camp is different from other Mad Science Robotics program. We do not build with Lego Robotics kits, but instead use some of the most innovative educational robotics kits to teach robot basics, circuity, programming, and much more in an age-appropriate and fun way! Our Robotics teaching edge comes from 12 years of facilitating this topic and a professional R & D team that stays up to date on this ever changing topic.
