Crazy Contraptions: Where Imagination Meets Engineering

Unleash your inner inventor and engineer during this week full of hands-on engineering, tinkering, and awesome ideas! Explore engineering practices and the design process. Learn how simple machines make work easier and create chain reactions and Rube Goldberg-style inventions. Each day is packed with opportunities to imagine, design, test, and improve—while having a blast building wacky machines and lever creations from everyday materials. The week ends with a Carnival of Contraptions, where campers show off their creativity by running cardboard arcade games and inventive machines they built themselves. Campers will think like engineers as they experiment, solve problems, and discover how objects move, interact, and work together!
