Summer Camps
All camps will be held at Thomas S Wootton High School
2100 Wootton Parkway, Rockville, MD, 20850
Camp begins at 9AM and ends at 4PM
Week 1: A Bridge to Engineering
Campers 9-14 years old
July 6th to July 10th
A Bridge to Engineering is an introduction to Civil Engineering. Student will learn the engineering design process as they design and construct a fully functional city. They will leverage our 3D Lab to rapidly construct buildings, bridges, roadways, water and power utilities and traffic management.
Week 1: A World of Drones
Campers 9-14 years old
July 6th to July 10th
Explore the world from the sky! Drones are at the forefront of technological advancement. Campers will get an introduction into drone videography and photography. Campers will have daily hands on flying time with drones to learn and improve skills. The ability to add thermal sensors on drones allows campers to conduct search and rescue missions from the sky.
Week 2: Robotics: Disaster Relief
Campers 9-14 years old
July 13th to July 17th
When disaster strikes its robots to the rescue. Campers choose a disaster scenario to solve using robotics. They combine robotics with their own 3D creations from our 3D Lab to tackle the challenge of saving people and property when disaster strikes. Help design and prototype robots that save lives. In a disaster area, debris needs to be cleared, supplies brought in, and survivors carried out. Are you up to the challenge! Spend a week learning about mechanics and electronics as you engineer these life saving robots.
Week 2: Young Entrepreneurs
Campers 9-14 years old
July 13th to July 17th
Ambitious campers will explore their entrepreneurship side as they immerse themselves in the world of business! Campers will explore many different investment strategies, such as debt and money management, stock market, and commodities, as they work together in teams to build a business. Campers learn how to make a preliminary business plan, do marketing analysis, assess the strengths and weaknesses of the competition, compile a financial spreadsheet, and make collaborative decisions.
Week 3: 3D Lab - Be the Inventor
Campers 9-14 years old
July 20th to July 24th
Be the Inventor gives campers the opportunity to design and create their own designs both in the virtual world and in the real world. They learn the engineering design process as they define a problem and use 3D CAD software to design solutions. They then use our 3D lab with 3D printers, CNC machines and 3D printers to rapidly prototype their creations.
