2019 presents us with very a special opportunity to work with Catlin Gabel school. This affords us great access to resources for broader camp offerings. This also means that Catlin will process all our registrations, saving us a ton of time and money.
Week 1: June 24-28
Intergalactic Mayflower:
Imagine if it was your responsibility to save humanity. We will be doing
just that by creating a spacecraft capable of carrying a select crew into
the furthest reaches of space. Using motors, tape, lights and anything
in our mad collection of materials and tools we will undertake a number
of tinkering challenges designed to get us all into space. On the last
day of camp we will have a showcase and all are invited watch the liftoff
and tour your ship and living spaces.
Week 3: July 8-12
The Cities in Your Future:
Calling all engineers, builders, entrepreneurs and civic-leaders. Help
your community and design a city of the future. Use your engineering skills,
creativity and knowledge about the place you live to plan, build and 'tinker'
the kind of city you want to see in the future - and all to scale. Light
the streets, create public and residential zones, designate eco-spaces,
prepare for natural disasters and build all the places you need to help
your community thrive. At the showcase, on last afternoon of camp, all
are invited to tour your city and you can show the world your innovations.
Week 4: July 15-19
The
Carnival!!
Everyone loves a carnival, with its unusual characters, entertainment
and challenging games. At Tinker Camp we will put on a carnival that you
design, build and run. Want to give a shot at creating the next generation
game? What to write, star and direct your own show? Have you ever dreamed
of making an automaton? Then join us for a week of carnival fun! On the
last afternoon of camp the doors will open and all are welcome to enjoy
your creations! Come one, Come all!
Week 5: July 22-26
Experience
Flight History
First came the French with their hot air balloons, the great airships
of Germany, and then Orville and Wilbur Wright. Then came Sputnik, Gemini
and Apollo. Each day of this Tinker Camp will explore one of these grand
eras in the history of flight. And even put a modern spin on it. If you
dream of soaring in the clouds, this is your chance to build and fly five
different vehicles from the epoch of human flight. The final showcase
of the summer will be on the last afternoon where we will launch rockets!
