The camp offers a dynamic blend of hands-on engineering challenges, creative project building, and outdoor activities, all within a university setting.
In the MakerLab & Rube Goldberg Engineering camp, middle schoolers engage in hands-on STEM challenges, applying design thinking to create functional and imaginative projects. Campers will build intricate Rube Goldberg machines, catapults, roller coasters, and bridges, exploring advanced concepts like chain reactions, momentum, and structural stability. The program emphasizes collaborative design and real-world problem-solving, fostering critical thinking and creativity. Weekly themes introduce new challenges, ensuring a fresh and engaging experience for returning campers. The camp culminates in a showcase where students present their engineering creations.
A typical day includes icebreakers, course instruction and project time, camp games and snacks, lunchtime, outdoor sports and games, and project sharing and clean-up.
This camp is ideal for curious middle school students who enjoy hands-on challenges, collaborative problem-solving, and applying scientific principles to creative engineering projects.
