VIRTUAL SUMMER PROGRAM
Summary:
Day 1: Science
We will be kicking off our week with our mad science activity day. We will be doing a demo on how to make oobleck and going into more depth about how and why it works. By incorporating very basic aspects of chemistry and physics we hope to give participants an insight into their future science classes.

Day 2: tECHNOLOGY
On Day 2, we will be covering the very important skill of coding. We will be giving students a chance to access coding practice sites, and answer any questions regarding that subject. On Day 2, we will also be welcoming our Robotics mentor and engineer to give a quick introduction to engineering which will foreshadow our next day’s activity.

dAY 3: ENGINEERING
Day 3 is a day we are really looking forward to hosting. Every member of our robotics team wishes they were exposed to CAD earlier, so we are driven to explaining the importance of CAD. We are going to be using TinkerCAD to give some basic information on the uses of CAD and give students the opportunity to create a design that we will print on our school 3-D printers for them.

Day 4: Art
Art Day will be controlled by our design specialists. They will be leading a day with a drawing demo and craft. Students will make braided cards and learn how to draw an animal chosen by their votes.

Day 5: Math
For our last day, we will be wrapping up with Math. We will be going over complex shapes and creating hexaflexagons that students can make with very simple materials. On the final day, we will have special guests to talk with us, and students will have the chance to ask any questions or share what they have learned.
