Inventing StuffThe camp is an adventure with lessons that explore connections between science, technology, engineering, and innovation. It connects students to inventors who changed the world and their impact across the centuries. Throughout high-energy and hands-on activities of inquiry, discovery, and problem solving, students explore not only the how and why of various discoveries and inventions, but also the entrepreneurship through innovation.
Science of ChanceStudents develop a fundamental understanding of probability and statistics through fun activities and real word examples. Students will work with both first-hand and second-hand data. They will learn to conduct experiments and surveys. They will also obtain data from newspapers and journals. Using the data, they will generate graphs, charts, and tables to discover patters, draw conclusions and make predictions.

Abacus (by SDSU CCC)The abacus is a calculating instrument that uses beads that slide along a series of rods set in a frame to represent the decimal places. Before Hindu-Arabic numeral system was invented, abacus was widely used by merchants. Learning to use abacus helps learn a new way of counting and come up with alternative solutions to all sorts of problems. The ultimate goal for this course is to have students learned how to use mental math to do a calculation, have a clearer logical reasoning, and heighten stronger mental visualization skills.
