STEM Winter Wonderland Innovators

Campers designed and built their own EV3 robots, and using the ultrasonic sensor, they programmed them to navigate away from lines in order to successfully solve the maze. Through this experience, they developed critical thinking and problem-solving skills, gained hands-on experience with technology and engineering concepts, and enhanced their understanding of sensors and their applications in robotics. 

In this project, our campers learned about line designs and experimented with string art. Order and symmetry are the basis of string art design, and elaborated designs are created with geometric shapes, points, and colored string. 

Our young artists created unique art pieces using thread strung between points to form geometric patterns and shapes. From pinning the nails to arranging each tread, it takes a lot of patience and hard work, but it was extremely rewarding to see the beautiful final product.

Our campers had an exciting time exploring and getting themselves familiar with the Sphero robot by coding it to draw different shapes and routes. Using the 3D design skills they learnt from previous activities, they then challenged themselves by building their own obstacle courses and programmed the Sphero to complete the course! 

Through hands-on programmable robots, our activities are designed to help children learn fundamental STEM concepts through play-based educational activities. 

Our Innovative campers were given environmental, geology, and cultural information to analyze and design their own skyscraper with TinkerCad. 

This activity not only teaches them about 3D Design skills and code but by analyzing data sets, campers also develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills in order to create designs that are suitable for certain scenarios.
