Student-Teacher Ratio 6:1
Be surprised by the music you can make with a few parts scrounged from around your home. And once you’ve made your own instrument, it’ll be time to jam with the other campers, and make some noise!
Engineering: Assemble an electric guitar from parts, then plug it into your own hand-wound speaker! Make a laser representation of your own voice, or any sound!
ReCreation: If music can't make you move, what can? We'll freeze dance & compete in musical chairs with a twist.
Tech Lab: Disassemble noisy circuits and spinning machines, find out what's inside, then put it all back together in a completely new way. Add special effects to your music video. Play a banana piano.
Art Exploration: Make & tune a drum & use it in a drum circle and grasp a composer's inspiration and create musically-inspired art.
About Maker Camp
Maker Camp, sponsored by MAKE magazine, is a summer camp with a focus on using science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) to create, build, and discover. Golden Gate Learning Center integrates history & culture to bring those projects to life. Every day Maker Campers learn about Makers of the past while becoming the Makers of the future. Campers (entering K-6th grade) rotate by age group every day to all four Maker Camp components: Engineering, Tech Lab, Art Exploration & ReCreation. Whether it's with wires, gears or glue, we help them Make connections they didn't know existed. We keep a comfortable 8:1 camper-to-staff ratio so these makers have all the help they need to succeed.
Math Club (optional during After Care)
Monday-Thursday 3:30-4:30, every week of Maker Camp
Students hone math skills through games, hands-on activities & art and earn stars for each. They can use their own summer curriculum and do math at home to earn extra stars, then cash in for prizes at the Star Store at the end of the week. They'll return to school with confidence & and new perspective on the story of math.
