CAMP OVERVIEW

We will also offer  two-week sessions centered around two incredibly popular themes “Lost in Space” and “Back in Time”!  The two age groups of 7-12 and 13-18 will have the same themes, but will have differentiated activities.

Session 1: Lost in Space!(6/28-7/9)

Together we will study the deepest parts of space and the future your child can have in the field of space exploration as China and other nations explore the universe! Space exploration has driven innovation for the past 8 decades. The drive to leave this earth and see what is beyond. We will be grappling with difficult problems and stretching ourselves to think outside of the box, to engineer answers to difficult questions, and overcome the impossible. To infinity and beyond!!!
