This is NOT your average camp!
This is a truly hands-on, applied knowledge camp. Our science experiments are explosive, dynamic, and thought-provoking. Skills will be learned and knowledge will be applied. This is real science!
Our program is geared towards students entering grades 5-8. Topics include:
- week of 6/12 -- Intro to Virtual Reality Programming -- Create your own virtual reality in Unreal Engine with the Oculus Quest 2 headset
- week of 6/20 (4-day week) -- Intermediate Virtual Reality Programming -- Learn the basics of blueprint programming and further your mastery of Unreal Engine. Use Post Process Volumes to control the visual appearance of a scene, including color grading, depth of field, and lens effects
- week of 6/26 -- Classic Chemistry -- Conduct a series of experiments, like the combustion of steel wool, sugar rockets, elephant toothpaste, distillation, aluminum foil in HCI, salt flame tests, and red cabbage titration
- week of 7/3 (4-day week) -- Catapult Carpentry -- Make wooden catapult carts and compete in a water balloon free-for-all. Along the way, you'll learn about drilling, sawing, blueprinting, projectile motion and ballistics
- week of 7/10 -- Carpentry Projects - Joinery and Finishing -- Assemble a table and a chair using a variety of joinery techniques and apply finishes to protect and enhance the beauty of your projects
- week of 7/17 -- Elementary Entrepreneurs -- Learn about profit, revenue, marketing, product development, competition, supply and demand, and other aspects of business as students create and run a classic carnival activity in an open marketplace competition
- week of 7/24 -- Arduino -- Learn how to use input and output devices to create interactive projects, like a mousebot. Apply basic programming concepts to give your creation life.
- week of 7/31 -- Catapult Carpentry -- Make wooden catapult carts and compete in a water balloon free-for-all. Along the way, you'll learn about drilling, sawing, blueprinting, projectile motion and ballistics
Aftercare is available from 3-5pm for $50/week. Aftercare will take place at 850-A Talbot Avenue, so we will walk your child to the Talbot site at 3pm.
Both kids LOVED the fun, hands-on STEM activities. They brought home DNA they created with candy this week (picture enclosed). It was also fun to hear the age appropriate explanations. My younger son came back sharing that, "DNA is what makes me, me!". From the parent perspective, we love that the program was available for the full day from 8am - 6pm and that they are getting some Mandarin reinforcement while school is out. We all appreciate that there is a good amount of outside play. The kids are particularly enjoying the rotation of new parks they get to explore.
The Su Yun team has also been very mindful of COVID safety. From separated cohorts, only allowing kids and staff on site (with drop-off at the door) to temperatures being taken on arrival every morning and masks being worn.
The attention to detail is also impressive. My younger son turned 6 this week and without any prompting, he was sent home with a surprise birthday goodie bag of treats that included school supplies and snacks.
We hope to be back next year!
