Renaissance STEM and American Girl Camps in 2014
Lego Action Jrs.
This camp is
for the younger LEGO fan that is just getting into LEGO. Jrs will learn basic building techniques, play building oriented games, and create from their own imagination. Projects like building racecars, animals, mosaics are few of the things the children will work on. Action Lego’s puts fun in motion as students learn how to use gears, motors, potential energy, and balance to create numerous contraptions. Through the excitement of building, our summer camp students understand how gears translate motion and how different types of energy can propel
vehicles and machines. After each building project, summer camp kids
customize, share, and enjoy playing with their creations. Kids have many opportunities free
building, playing Lego games creating their own amazing projects.

Learn Robotics and Programming
LEGO WE-DO
Builders begin programming models and develop technology, engineering and math skills on computers.
Education WeDo™ Robotics
For campers who love to build and then take their models
to the next level. New from Lego Education and Renaissance. Our future
engineers work on Lego robotics kits. Each builder has his or her own kit!
Interactive building and programming models is the newest educational frontier for kids that love building. Kids build a series
of models such as an alligator, lion, helicopter, soccer player and more. Builders
work together to build and program their model to move and make sounds.
LEGO We-Do Robot
Construction
The LEGO® Education WeDo introduces young students to robotics when combined with the LEGO Education WeDo Software v.1.2 and various Activity Packs. Students will be able to build LEGO models featuring working motors
and sensors; program their models; and explore a series of cross-curricular,
theme engineering, and mathematics as well as language, literacy, and social
studies. Soon, builders move and program
their own models and develop scenes for their models. You have to see it to
believe it! Fun and learning that will build skills for now and for the
future in every child.
We have the hundreds of sets and all the Lego games too!
From Star Wars to Super Heroes sets and the new Ninja and Chima sets, builders will be able to explore and build with friends.
Our Lego Robotics software program was
developed by MIT and Carnegie Mellon University.

Beginning Scratch PLUS Lego’s: Fun With Programming
Do you have a camper who is passionate about technology? Has your camper always loved building and working with Lego’s?
Now, your camper can experience the best of both worlds in a new camp. In this class, campers will build with Lego’s but also learn how to use the program Scratch to make characters called Sprites dance, walk, talk, and interact with other Sprites on laptops. Scratch makes it easy for students to become a program designer and write top-notch programs that feature
animations, stories and simulations. It's the easiest most exciting way to become a 21st century programmer! This is a weeklong camp combined with Lego building, which uses both a fun programming and building environment.
Campers
use Scratch to make animations and games. No prior experience is necessary.
This camp is available either half day or full day. A snack is provided.
Outside time is also part of the day!
Elementary
Advanced Scratch/Lego:
A weeklong camp for campers who have previous Scratch experience. More advanced programming topics are covered.
American Girl Creative Camps
"Follow your inner star" as you learn about yourself and the historical American Girl characters. Each day, campers
will learn about a new American Girl character and experience a day in her life. Together, we'll design art and jewelry, paint, design fashion and
work the runway, celebrate the character's beloved holidays and traditions, and enjoy some of the American Girls' favorite activities like dancing, singing, sewing, writing and much more. Girls will develop a portfolio over the week that depicts their vision of what it means to be an American Girl today.
