The modern world runs on electricity. This camp explores the fundamental principles of electricity, basic circuit design and how data science can be used to explore electrical usage. Campers will build simple circuits using resistors, capacitors, and diodes. For example, campers will build some of the circuits that are found in computers, including counters and adders, and shift registers. Campers will also explore how robots work and how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used to help them perform specific tasks. Campers will learn and use the Python programming language to understand the principles of electricity and to explore how electricity is currently used. All campers will receive an electronics kit that can be used for further explorations.

Campers will explore mathematics through the lens of art history, with a focus on architecture. They will explore architectural styles and movements from different time periods and discover the geometric concepts within those styles. For example, they will explore the use of squares and rectangles in the paintings of Mondrian and the architecture of Mies van der Rohe. Students will examine site plans, blueprints, and visit sites along with an architect. Mathematical concepts covered will include measurement, scaling, proportions, two-dimensional shapes, and three- dimensional structures.

Campers will learn about sources of sustainable energy through a combination of hands-on exploration and computer simulation. Topics of inquiry will include: wind turbines, photovoltaic panels, and solar cars. Campers will have the opportunity to design, build, and operate their own devices: both a wind turbine and a solar car. Campers will experiment and learn to optimize their projects using the engineering design process and principles.
Our STEAM Camps are made possible by the generous support of Orange & Rockland Utilities and Community Offshore Wind.
