Virtual Mad Science Secret Agent Camp
Mad Science Summer Camps
Participate in camp live from home! Ever dream of becoming a secret agent? We'll start with the basics: Campers will get their very own spy glasses! Step into the shoes of a detective as you uncover the science involved in evidence gathering and analysis! Figure out the science of forensics in a hands-on look at crime scenes! Become a super spy and learn clever ways of performing tasks as we take a hands-on investigation of the science that spies use!
For our virtual camp, we'll pack up a bag for you of science activities to do at home! Your Mad Scientist will lead campers in demonstrations and activities and set them off on their discovery with science activities. Your Mad Scientist will be online the whole time to guide them and answer questions as the conduct their activities. Conducted via Zoom or similar. Children entering K and 1st will need assistance from a grownup at home.
Note: Descriptions below are based on in-person full-day programs. Specific "Camp at Home" activities may vary.
| Discover Detection Step into the shoes of a detective—uncover the science involved in evidence gathering and analysis. Using the power of observation and the Inspecti-Kit, our young detectives will have all they need to get started with their investigations. |
| Funky Forensics Explore forensic science in this hands-on look at crime scene investigation. Children use the Case Stamper to stamp out a mystery on a case card and discover the science of tracking. Got clues? With the Spynoculars, children stealthily observe clues. |
| Science of Security Sharpen your surveillance skills with the science of security! Children discover the science and technology behind locks, surveillance systems, and burglar alarms! They use Spyglasses on short surveillance shifts to test their observational abilities. |
| Sleuths on the Scene Suspects, schematics, and sleuths… oh my! Connect the dots using science to help solve a crime in this hands-on investigation of the science of sleuthing. Children will use the Scene Solver to reconstruct the scene of a crime. |
| Spy Academy Look out 007—the Mad Science spy academy is in session! From decoding messages to metal detectors and night vision, children will have the opportunity to check out spy equipment and even create their own edible messages! Take home a Secret Code Breaker! |
