This camp will spark joy, curiosity and creativity through hands-on projects experimenting with common materials as media for building kinetic machines!  

These contraptions will explore physics through simple mechanisms which are combined to create chain reactions, illustrating causal relationships in fun and easily understood ways. Working our way from the basic to the complex, the course will provide an understanding of how the mechanized aspect of our world functions. Participants will collaborate, problem-solve and embrace the necessity of trial and error as a process of invention. 

By the end of the course, young inventors will not only have built whimsical machines, but also gained confidence in their ability to think critically and creatively about the world around them, inspired towards further investigation.
