It is comprised of nine different camps and academies. Each camp offers a series of courses which opens up new possibilities and new learning, and promises a summer of excitement!
New this summer, the Center for Educational Programs is hosting two week-long camps specifically for middle school students (sixth, seventh and eighth graders). During the Hawk STEAM Academy, campers will become engineers and work in research and development teams as they explore Newton's laws of motion through interactive hands-on activities and learn the science and engineering design process while engaging in missions to solve real-world problems and more! Activities include arts-integration with science, technology, engineering and math for designing, constructing and testing rotocopters, parachutes, balloon rockets, drones, and robotics. Campers also will meet and interact with STEM experts from a variety of industry, including NASA!
