Day 1: Engineering

Engineering Day will kick off the camp with demonstrations over a variety of topics important to engineering, such as gravity, structural forces, and aerodynamics. Students will then participate in egg drop challenges, paper-plane competitions, and several other activities.

Day 2: Natural Sciences

Day Three is all about cool at-home science experiements. Students will get to participate in some incredible chemical reactions, such as Elephant's Toothpaste and Coke & Mento fountains! Students will also get to play with Oobleck and build solar ovens, in addition to seeing the water cycle unfold in real-time.

Day 3: Life Sciences

A combination of biology, ecosystems, anatomy, and medicine! Students will learn about the anatomy of different organisms and the traits that help them survive in their environment, before creating life-sized diagrams of the human body. Finally, they'll learn about first-aid and how diseases spread through the world.

Day 4: Astronomy

Look to the sky! After arriving at the park in the late evening, students will get to learn about the phases of the Moon and design their own spacecraft/rockets using criteria from real-world missions. They'll also get to witness the true scale of our universe by participating in a to-scale demonstration of the Universe's scale that's both out-of-this-world and out-of-this-park! Finally, to end camp, students will get to observe the sun, stars, and potentially some galaxies and nebulae through a telescope and record their observations.

Note: to facilitate the best star-gazing experience, this day of STEMpark begins at 6:00p.m and ends at 9:00p.m, unlike the other days. Please plan accordingly.
