Summer Camp Handbook

We often get questioned about the A in STEAM. We happen to think the A is vital and this camp explores why. What good is an engineering solution or technology without considering aesthetics and user interface? The beauty of geometry, especially in nature. The physics of color and sound. Symmetry in sculpture. Patterns and fractions in music. Using technology to enhance visual art and music. So many opportunities to explore the Art in STEM.

Suitable for ages 5 – 8.
