Week of June 15th
Mad Science camp at The Gifted Collective:
Morning Class
Moving with Science
Grades K-5
9AM-Noon
Do you love to build, design and fix things? Are you curious about how a reaction happens? What is the true nature of birds and beasts? Campers explore activities in engineering, math, chemistry, and biology that they could encounter in their daily life. They will see just how natural science is in our world! This course includes the following topics:
JR. ENGINEERS-Campers check out shapes and why they are so strong! They investigate arches, and geodesic domes. They discover why an egg’s shape is so strong and where to find this shape in buildings. Test loads and build some bridges to discover the wonder of structures.
MACHINE MANIA-This is the day to find out how wedges, screws, and levers help us with our daily lives. Campers use simple machines to complete different tasks like lifting weights and launching marshmallows. They run through an obstacle course and use teamwork to show how useful simple machines can be.
CRAZY CHEMISTRY-Campers become Mad Science chemists to learn about the chemistry found every day in our house and school. They discover how chemical reactions are everywhere and the clues to test when a chemical change has occurred. Campers mix, mush and brew together different chemicals in this creative outdoor chemistry lab.
THE BIRDS & THE BEASTS-Where do owls live and what do they eat? How do some bugs walk on water? How do ants collect all their food? Campers find ways to answer these and other questions with a walk on the wild side of things to explore owls, birds, and all kinds of bugs.
SHUTTERBUGS!-How does a camera work? What does a lens do? How are they similar to how our eyes work? Campers try to find the workings of a camera obscura and how the first types of film captured light and stored an image. Campers get first-hand experience as they leap from photography to moving pictures as they learn about motion pictures and filmmakers.

Afternoon Class
Robot Recruits
Grades 3-6
1PM-4PM
Join us for a week of fun with amazing robots! In this full week of half-days, learn about the uses of robots in our world and spend time working on real robots. Discover the science of circuits, experiment with robotic sensors and program them to interact with your world! Use your skills to build your very own working robotic device to take home with you! This clourse includes the following topics:
READY FOR ROBOTS-Children will explore the fundamentals of robotics and discover how robots are used through activities and games. They will begin to build their own robotic device that they will take home at the end of the week.
CIRCUIT SCIENCE-This program will explore the “nuts and bolts” of robots as children will build simple circuits, test for conductors and non-conductors, and discover how switches work. Children will connect their own mini circuits to take home.
USE YOUR COMMON SENSORS!-Children will explore the concept of sensors and discover what they enable a robot to learn about its environment. They will play games that involve their senses and do activities that involve communication. Children will make a circuit sensor to take home.
ROBOTS 101-Campers will learn about Asimov’s “Laws of Robotics” and applications of robotic technology in this fun-filled program. They will continue building their robotic device and make their own puppet robot to take home.
ADVANCED ROBOTICS-Children will complete the building of their robotic devices and spend time using their imaginations to create robot designs of their own. They will experiment with special robots that play soccer and discover how to program robots via a sequence of commands. Each child will take home their week-long build to continue their exploration of robotics at home.
