Curious World Camp (Ages 5-6)

Grades K-1

Warning: this camp is for doers, makers, tinkerers, and explorers! If you answer to any of those descriptions, then you’ll feel right at home in Curious World Camp, where you’ll team up with fellow innovators to break down the world around you and turn it into fun-filled projects. Each day, campers will complete hands-on projects; take on Creator Challenges led by famous scientists and inventors; and explore the world of science with new friends. Spark your curiosity with these daily labs:

Lab 1: Energy & Forces Lab -- Explore—and learn to take advantage of—the natural forces of gravity, magnetism, friction, and more. Warning: when you work with gravity, things tend to fall down.

Lab 2: Motion Lab -- Become a master of movement as you leverage velocity, acceleration, and propulsion to make things go. Warning: you may be asked to create your own rocket.

Lab 3: Biology Lab -- Discover the wonder of life—and bring your pets as examples—as you explore the plant and animal kingdom around you. Warning: have soap nearby because you’ll probably get your hands dirty.

Lab 4: Machine Lab -- Become an inventor using household items and the properties of simple machines to create toys and tools. Warning: machines only do the work for you after you’ve done the work to build them.

Lab 5: Chemistry Lab -- Discover the building blocks of our world as you experiment with compounds, solutions, and change. Warning: some might say polymer is just a fancy word for slime.
