Electronic MakerSpace
Making With Electronics (Ages 6-9) - NEW!
Uses basic electrical circuit concepts and materials.
Electricity and electronics are now in almost everything we use, having fuelled the Industrial Revolution, and bringing about the Information Age. But what is Electricity, and how does it work? More importantly, what are some cool, fun projects we can use electricity with in our Electronic MakerSpace? In this camp, children are given the necessary building blocks and inspiration to create Electrically-Powered Arts & Crafts.
Creating Smart Devices (Ages 10-13) - NEW!
Learn about basic micro-controllers and how they are used in real life projects.
The Age of the Robots is upon us, but why be afraid of technology we have full control over? In this module, students are taught the basics of automation and robotics, part of the new sector of Physical Computing that is fueling the most creative innovations today. Children will be challenged with creating a fun mechatronics project to bring home and wow their friends.
We have ample equipment for everyone, so please do not send your child to camp with a computer or tablet.
