Summer Camp

Young Engineers Tallahassee– Camps Programs open our doors to anyone who loves to experience, experiment, but especially, enjoy Lego construction. An experimental and challenging learning occasion with games and scientific experiments that visualize natural phenomena and the forces acting around them. Our camps have dozens of cool and exciting activities.

Our camps are led by experienced S.T.E.M. educators. Our team approach implements creativity, teamwork, critical thinking, and innovation into each day’s activities. Camps are offered by grade completed to children in Kindergarten- 8th graders.

In this Camp, children will learn the laws and concepts of the world of science, math, and engineering through a combination of learning and challenging construction experience.

Weekly Activities Summary

As a Young Engineer, campers will explore the exciting and imaginative world of STEM. Our camp will allow the children to problem solve, think critically, and use their imagination as well as creativity.

Kindergarten – 2^nd grade: Each week the campers will explore lesson topics related to the theme by constructing motorized Lego models, fun science experiments, STEM arts & crafts, outdoor games, the science of gardening and the natural world, and team building activities. Campers will be introduced to agriculture and farming techniques through hydroponics and aquaponics production systems by engaging in hands-on activities centered around food and life cycles.

3^rd grade – 5^th grade: Campers will learn coding and robotics at an introductory level combined with lessons from each week’s theme. Introduces participants to the world of robotics through understanding the basics of mechanical engineering, and the basics of coding including algorithm planning, formulation of pseudo code, flow charts, programming, sensor applications, calculation commands. Introduces the participants to the world of robotics through a hands-on and fun educational experience. Campers will be introduced to agriculture and farming techniques through hydroponics and aquaponics production systems by engaging in hands-on activities centered around food and life cycles.

6th grade – 8th grade: Campers will experience Engineering challenges and Spiral Method activities using a more complex programming structures even with no prior coding experience. Campers will engage in an incredible range of programmable robotic projects, explores the world of robotics from a professional engineering perspective. By emphasizing programming solutions, our students create more sophisticated robots. This encourages the comprehensive learning of science, technology, mechanical and software engineering, and math (STEM). Campers will be introduced to agriculture and farming techniques through hydroponics and aquaponics production systems by engaging in hands-on activities centered around food and life cycles.

Bring lunch and snacks. Younger children should bring a change of clothing if needed.

Campers will be Introduced to STEM.
Science camp for many young children is an opportunity to be introduced to many various topics of science. From environmental science, earth science, astronomy, and biology. This exploration will instill confidence to embark on a journey through the world of science. Students may use science camp to discover what a specific science-related career would be like, or to meet mentors and role models in the field.

For all students, science camp can be the opportunity to explore a branch of science that might not be available in their school, like marine biology or aeronautics, or to cover a topic more in depth than they would otherwise be able to.

Our Science Camp includes introductions to historical figures in STEM, storytelling, build motorized Lego models, team building activities, in-depth independent and critical/creative thinking activities. The full day will also encompass comprehensive introduction of our three different learning methods: Problem Based Learning, Product Based Learning, & Project Based Learning. Masks and social distancing will always be practiced.

We encourage campers to Bring lunch and snacks. Younger children should bring a change of clothing if needed.

Students who attend Governors Charter Academy will be eligible for a discount.   

COVID 19 Updates
We follow the recommended CDC guidelines. To be socially responsible to our campers, staff, and our guests, Young Engineers Tallahassee will be strictly enforcing the following health and safety requirements to mitigate the spread of COVID-19:
