In this exciting hands-on day camp for grades 7 – 10, participants will be introduced to the engineering design process while they learn and use basic science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) concepts like simple machines, electric circuits, programming and computational thinking, music, and storytelling. The project-based approach will emphasize problem identification, brainstorming, problem solving, rapid prototyping, teamwork, and communication. The camp will culminate with the design and construction of a giant thematic chain-reaction machine! Camp registration is $250.

In this exciting hands-on day camp for grades 8 – 12, participants will be introduced to the engineering design process while they learn and use basic science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) concepts like simple machines, electric circuits, programming and computational thinking, music, and storytelling. Participants will design, build, and document their own chain reaction machines using a project-based approach that emphasizes problem identification, brainstorming, problem solving, rapid prototyping, teamwork, and communication. This is combined with photography of the machine in a full commercial studio, where participants will learn about image control via aperture/shutter/ISO choices, stroboscopic light control, high speed and thermal imaging. Final photos will be printed in our Print and Imaging Lab on the ASU Polytechnic campus. The camp will culminate with the exposition of a giant thematic chain-reaction machine and printed photographs that participants can take home! Camp registration is $250.

Join us for a thrilling new STEAM camp for grades 8 – 12 this year… “Make the Escape!” Hone your skills in science, technology, engineering, art, and math while you explore, solve and evaluate a variety of mind-bending puzzles. Work with peers to brainstorm innovative puzzle, theme and story ideas. Utilize logic, physics and computer programming to design, create and deploy your own Escape Room scenario in an immersive setting for your family and friends to play. Camp registration is $250.

Board your airships and jettison the ballast! Join in the fight to save a dystopian realm and create beautiful and imaginative kinetic sculptures that tell your hero’s tale.  In this immersive week-long camp, participants in grades 8 – 12 will be introduced to the engineering design process while they learn and use basic science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) concepts to construct their own steampunk-themed automata. Instructional content will focus on mechanical movement design, electric circuits, genre specific aesthetics, retro-futuristic storytelling, programming, and computational thinking. The project-based approach will emphasize problem identification, brainstorming, problem solving, rapid prototyping, teamwork, and communication. The camp will culminate with an exposition of finished automata projects that student engineers can take home with them! Camp registration is $300.
