Mad Science
Energy, Forces & Flight ~ Explore inertia, gravity and centripetal force with race cars and spinning bike wheels, ping-pong balls, and rubber band powered catapults. Learn about tension and compression, which shapes are strongest, make an earthquake proof building from toothpicks and marshmallows. Learn about flight and build the coolest paper airplanes!

E2 - Engineering Explorers ~ If a child loves to build things or destroy them, this week includes lots of both! The junior engineers will design & build bridges & "skyscrapers" using simple tools and their imagination. Kids will even construct a geodesic dome big enough for all the campers to sit inside! Then the machine madness starts as they discover, build, and invent simple machines, & solve problems with contraptions.
