Below is a tentative draft for our 2025 camps. We will be making changes until the end of January. We will note it here when the schedule it 100% set. Registration will open on February 17 at NOON.

  Introduction to Engineering Camp

OSU Campus * Entering Grades 4-5 * July 21-25 * 9AM-NOON or 1-4PM * $170 * Needs-based scholarships available

In this camp students will have the opportunity to work in pairs while exploring 3 engineering disciplines: mechanical engineering, computer science, and structural engineering. Materials used in the camp include Lego Simple and Powered Machines, Coding Apps, and K'NEX. The class is set up in blocks, with a "activity break" in the middle, when students will get outside. No experience necessary!

  WeDo 1.0 Camp

OSU Campus * Entering Grades 3-5 * June 23-27 * 9AM-NOON or 1-4PM * $170 * Needs-based scholarships available

Learn to use laptops, Legos, and the WeDo 1.0 Robotics software to create your own Lego robots! Working in pairs, this class will teach students to use a combination of engineering and creativity to build working, moving machines. The class is set up in blocks, with an "activity break" in the middle, when students will get outside. No robotics experience necessary! Note: WeDo 1.0 Camp is NOT a prerequisite for WeDo 2.0. The difference in the two camps is the look of the robots and the use of iPads for WeDo 2.0 vs. laptops for WeDo 1.0.
