MakerState STEM Summer Camps Announced!

 
Maker State STEM Summer Camps Announced!
 
 
MakerState STEM Summer Camp will be held in 5 NYC locations. This 10 week program focuses on building creativity, problem solving, and social-emotional skills for kids. They will get the opportunity to do hands-on projects in coding and game design, LEGO robotics, 3d design & printing, Minecraft engineering, moviemaking, rocket sciences, Oculus Rift virtual reality, and more. 
 
A Day in STEM Camp SAMPLE Schedule:
  • 9am Open Makerspace: exploring and creating with littleBits, MaKey MaKey, CircuitScribe, and Snap Circuits (note that we also have 8-9am Before Camp Care)

  • 9:30am Circle Meeting: share our ideas or find out about the Masterpiece we’ll build this morning with a special emphasis on how it’s built, the STEM concept/skill the engineers will apply/learn when they build, and where they see this in the real world

  • 9:45am Engineers receive their first “Challenge” and supported in building the Masterpiece in collaborative groups and individually, with a break for a healthy snack in the middle

  • 11:30am Break for lunch and physical play recess

  • 1pm Circle Meeting and another Challenge and Masterpiece building session in the afternoon

  • 2:45pm Engineers build two Masterpieces each day that demonstrate their new interest and mastery of STEM concepts and skills. A circle debrief, in which we reflect upon our creativity and collaboration, ends the day.

  • 3:00pm Parent pick up (although we have 3-5pm After Camp each day with more robots and games and coding!)
