$452 Includes HST

July 10 @ 9:00 am – July 14 @ 4:00 pm EDT

It is rocket science!

Let’s learn about rockets in flight and the four forces that act on them: weight, thrust, and the two aerodynamic forces, lift and drag.

Kids will be:

★ making sled kites to learn about drag,
🛰 experimenting with a Pop Can “Hero Engine”, making, designing
🚀 launching a bottle rocket, and tracking its flight of our rocket with a homemade Launch Altitude Tracker.

Focus on Women in STEM : Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, Lillian Todd & Mary Jackson.

$115 CAD taxes included

June 2 @ 9:00 am – 4:00 pm EDT

In 1854, Ana Atkins used a newly discovered technology called cyanotypes to record all the specimens of algae found in the British Isles.

In this workshop, you will capture your own cyanotype image on a piece of cotton paper or cloth. Kids are welcome to bring their own piece of clothing or cloth to make a cyanotype print. Each camper will be able to make a minimum of two cyanotype prints. Create a record of the world around you with cyanotypes.

Spring – Tuesdays – Renewable Energy

April 18 @ 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm EDT

$295 Taxes & Materials Included

What is Renewable Energy? Why is it important?

In this 8-week session, students will learn about the chemicals that make up our atmosphere, the cycles that result in rain and the ground we stand on. Students will have an opportunity to create an invention using a simple solar electric circuit.

Students will be introduced to scientists such as Eunice Newton Foote, Amanda Weeks, Lynn Jurich, Nzambi Matee and Katherine Hayhoe.
