STEM Winter Wonderland Creators

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.

After understanding the theory of color mixing, our fellow scientists made a natural color dye blending pure purple cabbage juice. The color turns red, purple, blue or dark blue-green depending on the acidity level or the dye mixed. Through experimenting with different materials and color mixing, campers have developed a vivid understanding about chemical composition and created their own color spectrum!

This group of talented young coders collaborated to create a challenging maze and programmed the Sphero Robot to navigate through each other's designs.

Through this experience, they developed teamwork and collaboration skills, enhanced their problem-solving abilities, and deepened their understanding of coding concepts. They also gained hands-on experience with robotics and learned how to troubleshoot and iterate on their designs to achieve successful navigation.

Campers delved into the world of 3D design and modeling using CAD, they then brought their creations to life using a 3D printer, creating their own molds.

But the excitement didn't stop there! After polishing their molds, campers used them to craft their own bath bombs. Mixing the solution, learning about chemical reactions, and finally, pouring it into the molds, resulting in their unique bath bombs to bring home.
