Eurekus: 3-2-1 Launch! (Ages 7-8)

Imaginations take flight with a week of inventing cool devices that launch, fly and soar! Campers investigate how things are built, move and work as their curiosity takes to the air. Campers have a grand time working indoors and experimenting outside to ignite wonder, curiosity and creative play. Students will also explore a host of mechanical engineering and physical science concepts while having a blast together. Young inventors will craft many exciting play-based inventions ~ sling-shot launchers, mini rockets, pop-rockets, balloon powered devices, twirly birds and awesome airplanes.
