There will be two STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics classes this summer using LEGOs. The classes range from Kindergarten through Fifth Grade.

The first is an an Intro to STEM with LEGO Materials from July 17th through 21st from 9:00 am until noon for kindergarten through 2nd grade students (ages 5 to 7).

Campers will build engineer-designed projects such as boats, snowmobiles, catapults and merry-go-rounds and then use special pieces to create their own unique designs. Students can explore the endless creative possibilities of the LEGO building system with the guidance of an experienced Play-Well  instructor. There is no pre-requisite for this course.

The second course is for grades two through five (ages 8-12) and is titled STEM Challenge with LEGO Materials. Class time is from 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm.

Students will apply real world concepts in physics, engineering and architechture through engineer-designed projects such as capatapults, pneumatic cranes, arch bridges, and battle tracks. An experienced instructor will challenge new and returning students to engineer at the next level. The re is no pre-requisiste for this course.

The cost of the mini-camp is $125, and partial scholarships are available. Registration is at the 12th Street Community Center in Junction City.
