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.

Internet of Things (IoT) Inventors: Smart Robots for a Smarter World!

Imagine if you could walk into a room and it instantly transformed into your ideal living space without you needing to even raise a finger? Step inside this augmented classroom that comes to life as lights, machines, and furniture react to your every move. Discover how cutting-edge tech connects all the data around us, both online and offline, to create the ultimate convenience. Campers will invent unimaginable creations, from a robot that tells you exactly when to leave by feeding real-time NYC subway traffic data, to smart furniture that reads the weather and shows you exactly what to pack before going outside! Using Internet of Things technology and wireless communication, you’ll program these sensor systems and decide how they respond in real time. With unlimited possibil

Campers Will:

  • Design connected IoT systems using sensors and wireless communication to control how robots and devices respond to people and their environment.
  • Use coding skills to program a custom website that pulls real-time API data to wirelessly control physical robots.
  • Build IoT inventions that solve real daily challenges: a robot that knows when you should leave using real-time NYC subway data, and a weather station that mimics live conditions from cities across the globe.
