Kids will build, mine, and explore the ever-changing Minecraft Education landscape. Kids of all ages are invited to learn how to design and develop worlds inside the Minecraft platform, learn how to program and code using Minecraft Make Code assets, and develop other STEAM skills while they are knee-deep in the game. To extend the game of Minecraft, kids will also build real-life replicas of Minecraft characters using Fab Lab tools and materials!

Kids will become designers and makers as they learn how to use the best of what the Fab Lab has to offer: software programs that allow them to make things on 3D printers, the laser cutter, paper fabrication machines, and much more!

Come explore all things STEAM (Steam Technology Engineering Art Math) and Fab Lab to kick off your summer! This week of camp features all of the things that kids love about the Fab Lab: there will be robot challenges, engineering and design challenges, opportunities to bring ideas to life with 3D design - a little bit of everything! Campers will be grouped by age and skill level to ensure that every child will be engaged and having fun!

Summer Vibes Only! Get Creative and Curious with Robots! Campers will get to know the Fab Lab’s family of robots this week, giving robots directions to complete fun, exciting, summertime-themed challenges! Kids with all levels of experience in coding will find success this week- using their creativity and problem-solving skills to successfully complete the challenges. With a few lines of code (directions for the robot), campers will get their robot to move, raise its arms, or even dance! Campers will use age/skill appropriate robots such as Ozobot, Sphero, Finch, Dash, Hummingbird, and much more!

Make Boardwalk Games and Play Them! Campers will explore the creativity, science, and engineering behind boardwalk and carnival rides and games! From roller coasters to arcade games, campers will be engaged in challenges to create interactive games and rides. Campers will learn about the design process and embark on mini projects that revolve around the world of design and engineering. This week will combine the best of everything the Fab Lab has to offer: robots and coding, creating things with digital fabrication, electronics, circuitry, and more to bring boardwalk games to life!

Calling all Aspiring You-Tubers! Is your child wondering how to make their own YouTube videos? In Video Production, kids will effectively learn techniques on how to shoot and edit video to make their own movies! From storyboarding, shot composition, sound production, and visual effects to using green screen technology, kids will have a blast while learning creative, useful skills! Kids will also have fun with Open Fab Lab time (where kids choose different activity stations), team-building activities, movement breaks, time for both independent and group exploration, and general STEAM (Steam Technology Engineering Art Math) challenges.

Can’t pick just one Fab Lab Summer Camp theme?! Then this is the week for you, as campers will experience it all - robots, engineering and design challenges, and 3D design! Each day will feature opportunities for campers to dive into all the things the Fab Lab is known for: coding robots, solving engineering challenges, and so much more! Campers will have lots of choice as to where they spend their time - they could spend all their time with robots, all their time with Legos, or they could dive into 3D design with Tinkercad. Campers will be grouped by age and skill level to ensure that every child will be engaged and having fun! Kids will also have fun with Open Fab Lab time (where kids choose different activity stations), team-building activities, movement breaks, time for both independent and group exploration, and general STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Arts Math) challenges.

Does your child like building LEGOs and using robots? This week of camp will be a FABulous combination of the two! Campers will build robots using LEGO bricks, motors, wheels, sensors, and other simple machines! Once the robots are created, they will program the robot to complete various challenges. Younger campers will use LEGO WeDo and older campers (or those with more skills) will use LEGO Spike Prime as their equipment - each group will engage in specially designed fun and engaging activities. Kids will also have fun with Open Fab Lab time (where kids choose different activity stations), team-building activities, movement breaks, time for both independent and group exploration, and general STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Arts Math) challenges.

ATTENTION All Minecraft Fanatics: This is YOUR Week! Campers will dive into the world of Minecraft this week, building their own landscape in Minecraft Education. Kids of all ages are invited to learn how to design and develop worlds inside the Minecraft platform, learn how to program and code using Minecraft Make Code assets, and develop other STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Arts Math) skills while they are knee-deep in the game.
