2016 Mad Machines & Crazy Contraptions
Dates: July 5-8
Time: 1 – 4 pm Grades: 2-6
Location: Town of Washington Park, Camp Building
Resident Fee: $150 Non-Resident Fee: $165
Directed by: Mad Science
This inventor’s camp is designed by you—the Inventor! Each day you’ll be given a series of challenges which must be overcome using basic materials, simple machines, tips from world famous inventors and the most important thing of all – your mind. If you were stranded on a desert island how would you survive? You will need to build shelter, find food and purify water, protect yourself and your teammates from the elements and find a way off the island – or die trying (not really). Journey to the future and examine the ultramodern inventions of the 23rd century. Then design the future - today. "Create" mini-light sabers, “green energy”, and hovercraft. With a little bit of ingenuity you’ll construct catapults and forts and then lay siege, fabricate a winning Egg Drop design, construct a dancing robot. While Thomas Edison said invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration…this camp is 100% fun!

Calling all agents! This camp is part forensics and part “spy science”. Step into the shoes of a detective—uncover the science involved in evidence gathering and analysis. Students will create, collect, and analyze evidence and discover what skills are necessary as a crime scene lab technician. They examine clues and get hot on the trail of a culprit, and then connect the dots using science to help solve a crime in a hands-on investigation. From edible messages and decoding clues, students will have the opportunity to check out some of the skills that spies must master as they journey into the world of espionage. Take home projects include an ultraviolet Fingerprint Finder kit, Spyglasses that let you secretly watch people who are behind you, Spy-noculars, a Secret Code Breaker, and an Inspecti-kit for evidence collection.
