Camp Information and Details

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 – 2nd 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.

3rd grade – 5th 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.

Science Summer Camp Theme 

The Electric Company: Campers will learn about the basics of electricity, including conductors and insulators, circuits, and switches. They will build simple circuits using batteries, wires, and LEDs, and create more complex circuits using breadboards and microcontrollers. They will also learn about renewable energy sources like solar panels and wind turbines. Campers will explore the world of electricity and electronics through exciting experiments and projects. They will learn about circuits, motors, sensors, and more, and use this knowledge to build and program their own electric devices. From simple circuits to more complex machines, our campers will gain a deep understanding of the power of electricity and its impact on our world.

Lego Safari: Campers will learn about different animal habitats and the animals that live there. They will build Lego animals, habitats, and landscapes, and create their own Lego stop-motion animation videos. They will also learn about the importance of conservation and preserving wildlife. In this exciting theme, campers will embark on a virtual safari adventure, where they will learn about wildlife and conservation through LEGO building challenges and interactive activities. They will learn about different animal habitats, behaviors, and adaptations, and use LEGO bricks to design and build their own safari vehicles and equipment. Our goal is to promote creativity, critical thinking, and environmental awareness in our campers.

The Aeronautics: Campers will learn about the principles of flight, including lift, drag, and thrust. They will design and build their own paper airplanes and test them in a variety of conditions. They will also learn about different types of aircraft, including helicopters and drones. Campers will discover the world of flight and aviation through hands-on activities and interactive lessons. They will learn about the principles of aerodynamics and engineering and use this knowledge to design and build their own aircraft and rockets. Our campers will also learn about the history of flight and the latest developments in the aviation industry and gain an appreciation for the wonder and excitement of flying.

Blue Planet: Campers will learn about oceanography, marine biology, and the importance of protecting our oceans. They will study different ocean habitats, including coral reefs and deep-sea trenches. They will also learn about different marine species and their adaptations. Our campers will dive into the fascinating world of marine biology and oceanography in this theme. They will learn about marine ecosystems, ocean currents, and the impacts of climate change on our oceans. Through engaging experiments and projects, they will also learn about marine life, from corals to whales, and gain an understanding of the importance of protecting our oceans and their inhabitants.

A Fantastic Voyage: Our campers will embark on a journey of discovery into the vast expanse of space and the wonders of astronomy. With hands-on activities and interactive lessons, our campers will learn about stars, planets, and galaxies, and gain an understanding of the principles of physics and the universe as a whole. Through engaging projects, they will also have the opportunity to design and build their own  space probes and learn how to use them to explore the cosmos. Our goal is to inspire a love of science and exploration in our campers, and to encourage them to pursue careers in STEM fields.

Join us at the Young Engineers Science Summer Camp for a truly out-of-this-world experience!

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. 

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.   

Young Engineers Tallahassee Science Camp is offered to children by grade completed by June 1, 2023. Children must be at least 5 years old by June 1, 2023. If you would like your child in a different grade, then please fill out our “Underage Waiver” and email it to Tallahassee@e2youngengineers.com.
