This full-day camp is designed for children ages 5 -10 with an interest in health and medicine. The camp is from June 11 - 15, 9AM - 4 PM.
In the morning, with Leadership for Kids, we'll examine how diseases spread around the world and how young people take action. Through experiments and writing activities, we'll understand the science behind the spread of disease and how it affects people worldwide. Children will explore the stories of young people making a difference around the world. Through art activities and storytelling, campers will channel their energy towards understanding a complex problem, which they will address with an engineering solution in the afternoon. Basic lessons in biology, math, and zoology (as applicable to children) are included.
In the afternoon, with Budding Engineers, campers will explore how biomedical innovation can make a difference in medical care. They'll learn to the engineering design process and invent their own creative solution.
The camp ends with a project showcase demonstrating the child's knowledge of a public health challenge, an engineered solution, and its social impact.
