Did you know that the heart is an efficient machine that runs on “biological” electricity? The one thing that keeps us alive is an electrical pump that provides blood to the whole body and keeps us moving and thriving. If we think of the heart as a machine, then there are ways to study and enhance it. This is where the intersection between medicine and engineering happens! Biomedical engineering applies the problem-solving techniques of engineering to biology and medicine in order to innovate healthcare solutions.

We use numbers for everything, but how did these number systems come to be? How can some of these systems have only a finite amount of numbers?

What skills do we use to solve the toughest riddles? What is the best way to communicate mathematical ideas, such as the countable infinity of natural numbers to others who may not be as familiar with such topics?

Have you ever wondered what your dog is thinking? Or how dolphins learn to work together to catch fish? Or whether a chimpanzee could learn sign language? Welcome to the field of animal cognition: the study of animal minds, especially how they think and learn.

What are the physics behind actually launching a rocket into space? What aspects does NASA have to consider before constructing a spacecraft that can safely travel into the next frontier? How can we improve on what we already know to build more efficient rockets? As space exploration becomes more commonplace the knowledge behind the structures that get us there expands.

Have you ever wondered how The LEGO® Movie was created? How do animators develop original characters, sets and stories that capture audience emotions and bring imagination to life? Learn hands-on techniques used by animators in the entertainment industry including storyboarding, stop motion animation, video editing and more!

Miss Manners might not approve, but your child definitely will! Super Gross Science is a week of learning about our gross bodily functions. Burping, boogers, excrement, gas, saliva, germs and how our brain, cells, heart, organs and blood contribute. (formerly Gross Out Science)

Ever dream of becoming a secret agent? We'll start with the basics: From decoding messages to metal detector and night vision, campers have the opportunity to check out spy tech equipment and take home lots of gadgets like 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!

Creative Contraption Warning! This is a camp designed by you--the Inventor! Each day you'll be given a series of challenges which must be overcome using basic materials, simple machines, tips from the world of famous inventors, and the most important thing of all--your mind. With a little bit of ingenuity, you'll construct catapults and forts and then lay siege, construct a mini boat, and assemble a working light saber to take home. While Thomas Edison said invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration, this camp is 100% fun!
