The camp offers a high-energy, hands-on approach to STEM education, focusing on real-world explanations and kinesthetic learning to make science exciting and understandable.
Professor Egghead Science Academy's Egghead Machine Engineer camp allows students to design, build, and test various mega machines using LEGO™ components. Campers will utilize wheels, bands, gears, and pulleys to construct creations such as windmills, cranes, elevators, and cars. The program emphasizes hands-on, kinesthetic learning, where students actively engage in experiments and building challenges. After constructing their machines, students will put them to the test, attempting to break, blow over, or add weight to their designs to ensure they can withstand challenges. This process helps students understand the physics behind their creations and develop problem-solving skills. Each day introduces new engineering concepts and challenges, culminating in a final challenge to earn an official Professor Egghead degree. The camp aims to make science accessible, understandable, and cool, fostering a passion for STEM through interactive activities and real-world explanations.
A typical day involves hands-on experiments and building challenges using LEGO™ to construct various machines, followed by testing their creations to understand the physics behind them.
This camp is best for curious kids aged 4.5-9 who enjoy hands-on building, experimenting, and learning about how things work.
