The Works Museum offers a truly hands-on experience where kids are encouraged to be engineers, using real tools and materials to solve open-ended design challenges and learn that trying and failing is a crucial part of the engineering process.
The Works Museum STEM Camps offer engaging, hands-on engineering and technology activities for children, fostering creativity and curiosity. Campers delve into various STEM fields through interactive exhibits and projects, with a strong emphasis on the engineering design process: designing, building, testing, and refining their creations. Activities include robotics, coding, LEGO engineering, and carpentry, allowing kids to use real tools and materials. The curriculum is designed to cultivate critical thinking, persistence, and collaboration, framed as open-ended engineering challenges with multiple solutions. Specialized camps cater to different interests, including architecture, animation, and even girls-only sessions to promote gender equity in STEM. The museum's expert educators guide children through these experiences, making learning memorable and fun.
Campers engage in hands-on engineering challenges and activities, utilizing real tools and materials, with supervised lunch for those attending full-day sessions. Drop-off for morning camps begins at 8:30 AM and pick-up is from 12:00-12:15 PM, while afternoon camps have drop-off at 12:30 PM and pick-up from 4:00-4:15 PM.
The Works Museum STEM Camps are ideal for children ages 5-12 who enjoy exploring, discovering, designing, and building, and who thrive in a hands-on, interactive learning environment.
