Learning Standards:
Scientific Inquiry and Reasoning
PK.S.1.1: Campers will be encouraged to ask questions about kitchen ingredients and predict what will happen during CO2 sensory experiments, fostering curiosity.
PK.S.1.3: Campers will test predictions through active exploration with hands-on experimentation with everyday kitchen ingredients, understanding the science behind CO2 bubbles.
Engineering Design Process
PK.S.6.1: Campers will identify simple problems, such as detecting harmful gas in the kitchen, and brainstorm solutions through the design process.
PK.S.6.2: Campers will explore multiple solutions to design challenges by actively experimenting with different approaches while building a gas-detecting robot.
Physical Development and Health
PK.PDH.1: Campers will use their senses to guide learning by touching, smelling, and tasting ingredients during food sensory games and treat-making.
Social-Emotional Development
PK.SED.4.2: Campers will work together to solve problems and will be encouraged to collaborate while building the gas-detecting robot.
PK.SED.3.2: Campers will demonstrate self-regulation by managing their feelings appropriately during experiments, practicing patience, and enjoying a bubbly celebration feast.
Approaches to Learning
PK.AL.4: Campers will exhibit curiosity and willingness to learn new things through magical CO2-infused treat-making activities like Fizzy Lemonade and risen bread, cultivating a sense of wonder.
Digital Media Innovation: Future Influencers & Content Creators
What if your unique ideas could travel far beyond this classroom and reach thousands, or even millions, of people? Creators like MrBeast, Mark Rober, and top influencers didn’t start with massive audiences, they started with a message and the skills to share it well. Inside the NORY Media Studio, you’ll become a real content creator, learning how to turn your genuine voice, ideas, and creativity into powerful media. You’ll move beyond just being in front of the camera and experience the full production pipeline, from shaping a message and planning shots to filming, editing, and refining your final cut. As you engineer filmmaking tools, you’ll need to build recording setups and use modern media technology to amplify your vision exactly the way you intend. As the post production ends, we welcome all of our campers to enjoy our NORY movie premiere, where the Masters’ short films will influence and captivate the camp wide audience.
Campers Will:
- Develop an original message and transform it into a short-form media campaign through scripting, storyboarding, filming, and post-production.
- Engineer creative media tools and recording setups that improve camera movement, sound quality, and visual storytelling.
- Produce a final campaign film and present it at a classroom movie premiere, experiencing the role of director, editor, and content creator.
