The Works Museum offers a truly hands-on experience where kids are engineers, using real materials and tools to complete science projects and tackle engineering design challenges.
The Works Museum Summer Camps offer hands-on STEM experiences where children become designers, creators, and problem-solvers. Campers engage in a variety of activities including robotics, architecture, coding, LEGO engineering, and carpentry. Through these interactive projects, participants develop critical thinking, creativity, and an understanding of the engineering design process, learning that experimentation and even 'failure' are integral to innovation. The camps utilize real materials and tools, encouraging kids to explore how things work and to build their own inventions. Specific camp themes delve into areas like building elevators and catapults with LEGOs, programming robots with iPads, constructing model skyscrapers, and even creating stop-motion animation videos. The program aims to inspire a love for STEM by making learning engaging and fun.
A typical day involves hands-on engineering activities, interactive learning experiences, and often includes museum exploration and outdoor games. For full-day campers, lunch is supervised.
This camp is best for children aged 5-12 who love to explore, discover, design, and build, and are curious about how things work.
