Learning the game of chess has many benefits. If you would like to develop concentration (it's like anti-ADHD), think critically and plan ahead, use creative problem-solving skills (used every day), take responsibility for your moves & actions, have a higher self-confidence through improvement, and see that it's not about winning & losing but learning and that learning can be fun! Then this is the class for you! Playing chess has been proven to raise kids’ test scores, IQ’s, and overall cognitive abilities!

Camp objectives: To develop problem solving skills; planning strategies to accomplish short and long term goals within the context of a game; how to adapt plans to changing situations, including the failure or success of a previous plan; develop the ability to assess game situations and use that information in making plans and adapting; learning how to prioritize goals from most to least important; develop positive sportsmanship (ie. being able to loose with dignity and win with grace); and beyond all of that to have fun.

Learn the fundamentals of aerodynamics as we explore airplanes and gliders in this hands-on class. We will start with paper airplanes and straw gliders, progressing to sturdy balsa gliders. Just like a real design engineer, students will design, simulate and integrate their designs until they get it just right. Students will collaborate with each other to create a basic design they will use to start their simulations. Simulation software will be used to fine tune wing shape, angle of attack, reduce drag and weight. Once students have completed a final design they will make their gliders in real life. They can then compare their results from their simulation to their real life results. The students will compete against each other in a “fly-off” to see which design worked the best.

On the surface, Minecraft seems like a simple game. The Minecraft world is large, open-ended and full of hostile creatures. You must mine stone, chop wood, build shelter, grow food, and build weapons to survive. But to move on to large and complex building projects, a community of Minecrafters must work together. As a group, students will design and plan a city. Students will establish rules and conventions, cooperate with each other, manage scarce resources and create divisions of labor. Students have much to learn from this process. In this camp we will all play vanilla Minecraft on our own server. The world will be fresh, and as a group we will decide what to build. And most importantly - have some summer fun! Students must already have a Minecraft account and bring their password and userID with them.
