Campers get to take home their unique engineering models and present their technology projects to their parents every Friday.
STEM Kids Chicago, operating as Kids STEM Studio, offers engaging summer camps designed to inspire children in grades 1-7 (ages 6-12) through hands-on technology and engineering activities. Campers delve into diverse projects, including building and testing circuits, designing light-responsive and motion-activated gadgets, and constructing working car models. The curriculum also covers modern tech skills such as Roblox game design, where students create 3D worlds and learn Lua coding, and Minecraft Python coding, focusing on variables, loops, and functions. Additionally, participants explore Minecraft architecture, AI-powered animation, and block-based coding with MakeCode. Through these activities, students develop critical problem-solving skills, enhance creativity, and gain a deeper understanding of engineering principles and programming fundamentals. A unique aspect is the opportunity for campers to take home their engineering models and present their technology projects to parents every Friday, fostering a sense of accomplishment and confidence.
A typical day involves drop-off between 8:45-9:00 AM, followed by half a day dedicated to technology and half a day to engineering activities, with outdoor recess. Pick-up is between 3:30-3:45 PM.
This camp is ideal for students in grades 1 to 7 (ages 6-12) who are eager to explore STEM through hands-on technology and engineering projects.
