Learning Standards:
Scientific Inquiry and Reasoning (PK.S.1)
PK.S.1.1: Campers will be encouraged to ask questions about woodworking materials and predict outcomes during small-scale projects, fostering curiosity and scientific reasoning.
PK.S.1.3: Campers will actively explore woodworking materials through hands-on experimentation, understanding the scientific principles behind drilling, hammering, and sanding.
Engineering Design Process (PK.ETS1)
PK.ETS1.1: Campers will identify problems, such as how to construct large-scale Olympic sport-inspired games, and brainstorm solutions through the engineering design process.
PK.ETS1.2: Campers will explore multiple solutions by actively experimenting with different approaches while building their Olympic-inspired woodworking projects.
Physical Development and Health (PK.PDH.1)
PK.PDH.1.1: Campers will develop fine motor skills by drilling, hammering, and sanding during small-scale woodworking projects.
Social-Emotional Development (PK.SED.4.2)
PK.SED.4.2: Campers will collaborate in teams to build large-scale Olympic sport-inspired games, learning teamwork, perseverance, and social-emotional skills.
Approaches to Learning (PK.AL.4)
PK.AL.4: Campers will exhibit curiosity and willingness to learn new skills by participating in scaffolded woodworking projects and discovering the fascinating world of Olympic sports.
Technical Fluency
Inventors gain hands-on experience with the tools and systems that bring machines and robots to life. By working with sensors, circuits, and mechanisms, they learn how technology responds to data and control, building confidence in designing purposeful inventions that move and react to the world around them.
