Let’s get hands-on to create a green future with 3D printing pens, computer aided design, and the immersive world of Minecraft. We’ll collaborate to solve real-world challenges like planet-friendly farming, sustainable transportation, and renewable energy. We’ll build geometric 3D shapes like triangles, pentagons, and hexagons to test structural integrity and giant sustainable structures like water filtering mountains and windmills in TinkerCAD and import them into Minecraft as works of epic art. If you like to explore, craft stories, and build amazing creations, this is your camp.

Camp Day Description:
Camp days start at 9:00am and runs through 4:00pm full of exciting STEM challenges! Each morning starts with a meeting to establish the two challenge builds of the day, introduce students to the keywords that will be used in describing the challenge, and explain the main concepts that will be covered. Engineers will dive into the morning challenge by brainstorming solutions as a class and researching methods through examining pre-built prototypes. Working in small groups, engineers will build their first prototype and playtest their design. Until lunch young engineers will iterate on their initial designs culminating in a presentation and a badge ceremony in which young engineers will be awarded a badge to commemorate their effort solving the problem.
After the morning challenge young engineers will take a break to eat lunch and enjoy recess activities such as Four Square, Spikeball, and Capture the Flag Laser Tag! Returning from recess, students will start the second challenge of the day. Following the steps of the engineering design process outlined in the morning challenge. Afternoon projects will culminate in a parent presentation and a final badge ceremony.

9. Can I update my registration information?
Yes, you may update your information at any time before the MakerState summer camp week begins by logging into your Eventbrite account and editing the information.
10. Is it ok if the name on my registration doesn't match the person who attends?
Yes, it is ok if the registration name does not match the camper attending. Eventbrite does not allow us to edit the field on the purchasing registration name to clearly identify the camper's name, so the camper name was added as a required field per registration confirmation to help resolve this.
11. Is my registration for one week transferable to another week?
Yes, but there is a $20.00 fee for transferring to a different week of camp, as well as any difference in price between the weeks of camp.
