Forensics in Action - Do you love a good "Whodunit"? In this camp students will enhance their scientific skills and explore different types of evidence and techniques that are used to solve crimes through forensic science. Students process a mock crime scene to solve the crime while learning about things such as fingerprinting, blood typing, fiber analysis, chemical analysis, and DNA fingerprinting.
Body Builders - Have you ever wondered how the human body works? In this camp, students will embark on a deep dive into learning about several body systems and organs. Theyâll combine their new anatomy and physiology knowledge with art and electrical engineering to create functional models of several body systems, interconnecting them to âbuildâ a body! If you like anatomy, Arduinos, or just learning how things work, this is the camp for you!

Zoom Lens - Microscopes enable us to visualize the hidden world around us. Imagine being able to turn your own cell phone into a handheld microscope! Antonie van Leeuweknhoek was a microscopist who was the first to observe bacteria and protozoa. In this project you will explore Leeuwenhoek microscopes and make a prototype of your own with custom-made lenses that attach to your phone. This will involve 3D modeling and 3D printing your designs to turn your phone into a high-magnification custom microscope!
Lead Teacher: Dr. Mark Scimone
AI for Models - Dive into the world of AI with this exciting program where students become the innovators! Explore different AI models and use them to verify real lab data collected through hands-on experiments and electronics. With tools like sensors and cell cultures, students will create and train AI models to achieve peak accuracy. Code like a pro, just like Karlie Klossâbut no need to be 5'10"! Get ready for a fun, engaging, and challenging experience grounded in practical applications and AI testing.
