2026-Summer-Guide

Future Engineers If you like to create and build things, this program is for you! Enjoy an adventure of physics, gravity, and action and take home your very own engineering kit! Through 26 model-building exercises, you’ll investigate all six classic simple machines—wheels and axles, levers, pulleys, inclined planes, screws, and wedges—as well as gears. Students will follow easy step-by-step illustrated instructions to build each model, which includes a balance scale, elevator, and geared carousel! Test your new creations to demonstrate basic laws of physics and how they exist in our everyday lives! Young researchers will gain hands-on experience with the design process and learn about various topics in the fascinating world of engineering. Come obtain the necessary skills and experience to take on the technological challenges of the future and continue your engineering journey at home!

Our coding and robotics camp will teach students important strategies for building confidence, logic, resourcefulness, and problem solving skills that will serve them for the rest of their lives. Experience the cutting edge of technology with LEGO ® MINDSTORMS EV3 Robotics. Students will be captivated as they incorporate the EV3 motors, sensors and software by coding their commands directly into the intelligent brick. Test their capabilities by moving objects with robotic claws, creating a robotic mouse trap, constructing an electric guitar, tank bots and much more! Campers will also put their abilities to the test as they construct and code battle bots to compete against one another! This camp will take place at the Fred C. Hohnke Community Center, 2600 Center Drive Woodridge.
