Care to take a deep dive into into the magical world between arts and science with other growing science-curious innovators-in-training using code, gears, wires, and whatever else we can salvage from our recycling bin?
We will be discovering outside the box, look at things in a new light, and extend our creative super powers through material science and messy hands-on experimentation, all the while gleefully blurring the boundaries between what is traditionally thought of as either science, art, or play.
This year's focus is on The Eye (think Light, lenses, rainbows, and waves), Virtual Reality, and Patterns. There will be sparks, tubes, duct tape, and spillage. This is camp is NOT about technology. This is about extending your super powers to reach new levels of x-ray vision and creative mischief.
Each year, we weave together three STEAM themes. This year we return to one of our favourites: Patterns. Patterns of time, space, sound, light, and beyond rule our world. They puzzle and delight us, help us understand, connect, survive, and thrive. They can also be clues to why our universe works the the way it does... if you know where to look.
What gives things their shape? Why does the surface of Pluto look a bit like the soup boiling on the stove top?
Why do certain things arrange themselves in certain ways? Imagine the kind of creative fun and mischief you could get into if you could trick them into arranging themselves differently? What could possibly go wrong?!
Not only do you get build stuff. You will know what it does, how it works, why it works, and how to align it with the stars...
... and in the end, you get to take it home.
