Mad Science: Rockets & Robots @ Eccles Community Art Center


*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 06/05/2020
You put your right hand in, you take a robot out, you put your left hand in, and you shake it all about. We launch some rockets and build robots and we turn them all about. That's what this camp’s about!

Mad Science Summer Camps are 3-hour day camps.  Children ages 6-12 do hands-on science experiments with a specific theme for each camp.  The program provides all the supplies participants will need for their on-site experiments and activities they can take home.  Participants are encouraged to bring a snack and water bottle.  

 

The daily themes for this camp will be as follows:

 

What is a Robot? - Machines, automatons, remote controls: discover the differences that make a real robot from those that are not.  See robots in action and start making one of your own!

Some Jam and a Program - Has the Mad Scientist been replaced with a robot!?  Conduct experiments on how robots move, think, feel and respond.  Build a robot and walk it home!

Physics, Flight and Fins (part 1) - Rocketry is a hallmark of skill and knowhow that gets compared to anything else that isn’t Rocket Science. Jump in on the tools, talent, time and calculations that keep rockets held in high esteem!

Physics, Flight and Fins (part 2) - When things go up, do they have to come down? Follow the four forces of flight and then build your own rocket!

Parachutes and Propulsion - “3... 2... 1... Liftoff!  Learn about rocket safety, launch rockets, calculate their trajectory, and recover them to do it all over again!
