Eurekus: 3-2-1 Launch! (Ages 9-11)

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 design rockets, planes, launchers, helicopters and more. From chemical rockets and angry bird slingshots to LED & hoop planes, camp becomes a creative launch pad to fuel wonder, learning and creative play. Plus, students will build super STEAM skills through collaborative and fun explorations of both mechanical and electronic devices.
