Camps
Camp Odyssey/STEM (age 8 to 15)
Do you wonder where the ideas for a new product come

do people process ideas? If you could change something,

Who? Would you need tools? Which? Would you need materials? What? Where
are your resources? Can you design a way to ride a horse? Can you design a vehicle
that is not powered by an engine or batteries? Can you design a rocket that launches
somewhere other than space? If you were asked to design costumes for your favorite
TV show, what would you do? How would you do it? At this camp, you will have
the opportunity to enjoy exploring your creative side through activities geared toward
thinking in new and inventive ways and using that creativity to unlock hidden potential!
