Young Engineers
We are thrilled to offer your child summer programs that are both educational and entertaining. The camp integrates a range of activities including building Lego models, games, and projects related to STEM concepts. Young Engineers was founded 10 years ago and is at the forefront of the edutainment movement. The YE Pedagogical Group developed the camp curriculum and variations of this program are offered across the USA and in dozens of countries around the world. The camp is suited for children in elementary school (grades 1 through 5).

Our instructor, Kelly, is a cell and molecular biologist, well versed in the STEM concepts and methods she will be introducing.

Each of the two weeks of camp has a different theme. The first week (June 25 to 28) is about GOING UP (AND ALL AROUND) and the second week (July 9 to 12) is about MOVING FORWARD (FAST AND SLOW). Every day campers will build a Lego model and be introduced to the scientific concepts it demonstrates, play games, and participate in activities related to the theme. During Week 2 Lego builds will include motorized models like the Motorcycle and the Conveyor Belt. A brief discussion of the related STEM concepts like angular momentum conservation law, law of inertia, and the driven pulley will accompany the builds.

Daily Schedules will look like this:
· 10 minutes - STEM Concept Introduction
· 20 minutes - Thematic Activity
· 70 minutes - Lego Build
· 15 minutes - Snack Break
