Lego Robotics: SPIKE PrimeEquipped with the sophisticated LEGO SPIKE Prime Robotics Design System and sensors, learn to command your bot by discovering the coding fundamentals. Confronted by a series of challenges, your small team will continually re-engineer your mechanical creation and fine-tune its coded instructions, assessing performance and implementing effective design. STEM principles of hands-on mechanics, critical thinking, and collaboration are featured.
Dungeons and DragonsStudents will learn the principles of role-playing games with the classic Dungeons and Dragons. They will learn how to create characters, how to create campaigns, the role of the dungeon master, how to interpret the rules, and how to create your own fantasy world with nothing more than a pencil, some paper, dice, and the rule book.

Afternoon Camp Select one from the following:
Skylines: Game-based 3D City DesignThis is a fascinating class that, with computer games, will introduce the thrill and hardships of creating and maintaining a real city. No more messing with paper, scissors and glues. Through simulation, Students will engage in urban planning by controlling your own roads, public services, transportation and more. You're only limited by your imagination, so take control and reach for the sky!
Clay SculptureArtists will explore various ways to create with clay while learning about other cultures. They will explore projects such as gilded pinch pots, Pueblo pots, Roliquery balls, create their own signet ring, and more. All without the use of a pottery wheel or a kiln.
Creative Web and Blog Design Design your own web site and start your own blog in a week! This class teaches basic elements of HTML, CSS and WordPress. It also teaches students how to create blogs to share ideas.
Makers engineering: Creative InventionsStudents will learn what it means to become an engineer. They will understand the process of problem-solving through iterations, and they will learn to work within limited constraints. They will be introduced to various engineering disciplines, and look at classic examples of bridge architecture and design. Sample problems include how to design a bridge using craft sticks, how to design a bridge using only paper in a limited amount of time, how to design a flight-worthy aircraft, and how to design a flight-worthy spacecraft.
