Developing STEAM Competencies through Investigation and Construction
Children are natural explorers of their environment. They construct theories about the world that they live in. During this month-long summer camp, children will be introduced to many outdoor experiences to develop their Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematical (STEAM) reasoning through explorations of rich materials in their indoor and outdoor environment.
Children will work collaboratively to brainstorm theories about how things work as well as create, design, represent and test structures and devices. Children will have the opportunity to work as part of a team, share ideas and solve problems.
July 6-17, 2015 & July 20-31, 2015
9:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. $400 for each two-week camp session Ages 3-7 |
