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 - Robotics & Engineering Camps offer hands-on STEM experiences for kids ages 5-12, encouraging them to act as designers, creators, and problem solvers. Campers engage in a variety of engineering challenges, utilizing real materials and tools to build, test, and refine their projects. Activities often involve LEGO engineering, robotics, coding, and carpentry, allowing children to explore concepts like mechanical advantage, structural integrity, and basic programming. The curriculum is designed to cultivate creativity, optimism, persistence, systems thinking, conscientiousness, and collaboration, which are considered key "engineering habits of mind." Through open-ended challenges, children learn to approach problems creatively and experience the engineering design process firsthand, gaining valuable skills they can apply at home and in future endeavors.
A typical day involves hands-on engineering challenges, building projects with various materials and tools, and opportunities for museum exploration and outdoor games for full-day and one-day campers.
This camp is best for elementary-aged children who love to explore, discover, design, and build, and are eager to engage in hands-on STEM activities.
