Outcomes, not lecture notes.
Perform hands-on magic tricks and challenges using household items and school supplies as your only tools
Identify the mathematical or scientific principle — such as probability, symmetry, gravity, or chemical reactions — behind each trick
Explain *why* a trick works by breaking it down into its core math and science concepts
Connect each principle to real-world applications you encounter in daily life and in school coursework
Build intuitive understanding of multiple STEM concepts by experiencing them in action before analyzing them on paper
Develop the habit of asking "why does this work?" — the core mindset behind strong scientific and mathematical reasoning
Add a collection of repeatable, performable tricks to your toolkit that demonstrate genuine scientific knowledge

What if the best way to learn math and science was to do something that looks completely impossible? In Math & Science Magic Camp, students spend one week performing real magic tricks and cracking seemingly unsolvable challenges — then pulling back the curtain to discover the mathematical and scientific principles that make each one work. From household items and school supplies, students build a repertoire of tricks they can actually perform for friends and family, while also locking in the kind of conceptual understanding that earns points on quizzes and impresses teachers. This camp is for curious students who want learning to feel like discovery — and who wouldn't mind walking away looking like a genius.
